If thine eye offend thee, pluck it out.
How is it the biblical version is so much more pallitable?You called me sick. You did it in a conversation you initiated. You picked a fight then cried bully when the blows began to sting.
Now you demean my perspective by reducing whatever insight I might offer to simply represent superior writing skills. Reminds me of my only mairrage. I could seldom defend my feelings or perspective as valid, I was just “better with words.” But even many theraputic methods would recomend that a care-giver legitimize a subjects feelings by accepting their “internal logic.” I appreciate your need to help, but if you want to help me, you will need to accept my legitimacy - not the worth of who I could be if I “got better” but the worth of me “just as I am without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me.”
Jesus wept.
