There are times when the gap between us and the ones we love is just too wide to cross. Even when there is a bridge, crossing over to the other side just worsens the situation and increases the tension. Tempers still run hot.
We haven't come much farther in our evolution as a species than what's depicted in this cartoon. Both sides still want to inflict harm - physically or emotionally.
Still, there is hope. It's Advent and time to not just bridge the gap, but to close it through forgiveness. No need for a bridge. Time to drop the clubs and open arms.
Christ would have it no other way.
