Dear Ones-

So I saw it happen again the other day.

Last week I watched as a friend of mine got (quite savagely) verbally attacked by a friend of hers. As I was comforting her later, she said, while brushing away tears of pain, "It's OK. I know she didn't mean to hurt me. I know that deep down she's a really nice person."

To which my question was: "HOW deep?"

I mean, if you dig down deep enough into ANYONE, you'll find some traces of decency and humanity buried in there, right? (As they say, Hitler loved his dogs.) But how deep do you have to dig, in order to find that goodness?
