In posting this, I refer to U2's evolution of faith over the years. Do you think Bono's wisdom and compassion comes at a great price?
He has seen much, much more in life than you or I will ever experience or witness. Do you think he carries a burden at a great emotional expense?
We follow U2, not just for their great music, but because we feel like they carry our generations voice, COMPASSION. Resolve is not so much a cliche, as it is a destination.
As I grow older in years and wisdom, I long for the days when I was younger and ignorance was my strength. Not a care in the world. Politics seemed innocent. As the years go by, the more cynical I grow. Distrust begins to envelop my very existence. How has Bono managed to rise above the cynicisim and hope for an extraordinary future?
Maybe he believes in a Jesus full of compassion and hope. Maybe it's due to a Jesus that "believes" in a human race that refuses to abandon each other. A people that accepts people for their character, not their behavior.
I have to admit. I have lost hope in humanity. It is beyond my comprehension why people continue to oppress and suppress others due to narrow ideologies and lack of compassion. Why can't we walk a mile in other people's shoes? Why do we use government to further suppress and apply the moral convictions of some citizens on others?
Why do we continue to be offended by the opinions of others, when all the while, Bono is out there fighting the good fight, for the best interest of humanity. Instead, we SIT around and point the finger and accuse others of this or that, while we are left holding the worst of offenses. Intolerance
When a great man like Bono is too involved with action to judge others, he stands as a testimony of why we should never point the finger at another person. We should be too busy reaching out to others to even think about pulling the plank out of someone else's eye.
U2 continues to carry our generation's voice. Tolerance and compassion
