This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 20, 2009:
Yes. There is beauty in every person. Peel back the anger, peel back the hurts that have caused their actions, and there, somewhere, there is beauty.
I remember, when I was in high school, that there was a friend of mine's brother that EVERYone said was, well, not a nice guy, to put it mildly. However, I just kept choosing to be kind to him, to smile and listen to him, and to really try to connect with him.
In the end, he and I really got along. Why? I think it was because I took the time to see past his hard, ugly exterior and see the beauty within. He felt safe with me.
