Where Charity and Love Don't Prevail...

I think the worst thing about blogging for me is the presence of comment boxes. They are tantalizing little incendiary devices that incinerate any restraint and charitable thoughts I might've possessed before entering them. Caution: You're about to enter a no charity zone!

I resolve to comment less frequently. I find myself offering some ridiculous opinion or other, disagreeing when I don't really disagree merely for the pleasure of being contrary, or desiring to bat down another commenter merely because I find them unlovable. Or else, nearly as bad, playing the sage when the foolscap fits far more comfortably and is more in line with what God sees. (Besides, as Steven Riddle recently reminded me, "a laugh to start the morning is a greater gift than you can imagine.")
