Our deeds each and every moment are what define us, not mere words or symbols, no matter how vehemently we declare them.

Never be quick to judge groups or even individuals in black-and-white terms, for in this polar universe our energies are always in flux. One can be a hero in one story and a villain in the next. And a new story could be starting even before the last one has ended.
Yeshua said, “by their fruits you will know them”. Might that not depend on which day the fruit is consumed?
