True Life Is to Hand Out Hope Like Candy

1/7/2026

“Hand out Hope like candy.” Do YOU really want to face God self-righteously, wagging your finger at others? Honest self-reflection doesn’t leave much room for judging. We will be forgiven in the measure we forgive, and judged in the measure we judge others.

Slow down. Look around, look up, and look inward. Picking up rocks to throw, without looking in the mirror, is a really, really bad idea.

The planet can’t survive bitter revenge or arrogant, blind bigotry. Your own heart and mind can’t survive that. That’s where psychotic breakdown comes from. And God knows we’ve had enough of that.

Assuming you even understand everything and everyone you are judging, which likely you don’t...

...are you really so sure that God views you as better than ANYONE else?

The human condition, viewed honestly, is not about judging others’ sins as better or worse than their own.

Instead, True Life is to “hand out Hope like candy.”

“Go and sin no more” is indeed part of the story. THAT is the open door for the future, on a level playing field, 100% populated by equally foolish humans.

You will get blistered by those who really don’t want to change and will turn it back on you. But we have a pretty good role model for trying to help, even if it gets you attacked or killed.

All the way back to the garden of Eden, the story has been: LIFE, not “good and evil.” Lucifer, the snake is desperate to spread his diseased fruit of the tree of “I’m good and you’re evil.”

LIFE we are Designed for, unlike Darwin’s DNA mammals, exists on the Z-axis, not the X-Y axis of Flatlands.

What is the message here for “Peace on earth and goodwill to messed up humans”? Maybe this. Lucifer was thrown down out of paradise for the most destructive and blind sin of all: pride.

One more time boss:

Self-reflection, humility, patience, and gratitude are essential if we want to be friends with our Maker...

...and at peace with the other patrons of this round rocket ship called Earth.

Religion hasn’t seemed to help much for a few thousand years of trying. Religion can be an emotional binky, but there is still in this present age more hatred and isolation—than progress and deliverance from pride and selfishness. That doesn’t logically vindicate human religions very well.

But, even if attendance-based religions haven’t helped us very much overall as a species, that doesn’t mean “walking as Jesus walked” wouldn’t make all the difference.
