I really loved how it wasn’t just a rehashing, or digging in too deeply about doom and how “bad” things are. I loved that the idea of acceptance was baked in from the very beginning. I really left the course with a deeper, stronger, more calming feeling of acceptance than I had anticipated.
When someone steals another’s clothes, we call him a thief. Should we not give the same name to one who could clothe the naked and does not? The bread in your cupboard belongs to the hungry; the coat hanging unused in your closet belongs to the one who needs it; the shoes rotting in your closet belong to the one who has no shoes; the money which you hoard up belongs to the poor.
Basil the Great
