The Two Great Angels

May: On LoveMay 7Today's reflection was inspired by a quote from the 1998 masterpiece of a video game Xenogears.We can imagine that God had a choice when creating humans: create us perfectly, or make us flawed. And God chose, very obviously, to make us flawed. If we were perfect, then we would not help each other—perhaps even, we would not love each other. Would we even have a need for something like love?And so in order to fly, and as we are imperfect, and as we each have only one wing, we are dependent on one another.There’s a somber beauty in this idea. Who we are with others lies at the core of our being—the essence of what it means to be human. To exist in isolation, well that would make us something else entirely.Reflection title: The Two Great AngelsCreative inspiration: XenogearsReflection Question: Who do I rely on to fly? And who relies on me?
