Literally. My heart hurts this morning.
My reaction to the articles about Jean Vanier sexually assaulting multiple woman has consumed my morning as I have tried to calm myself in the reality that yet another man thought that somehow he was more important than the women he ignored as he assaulted them.
My body pain increased as I read more and the spot above my heart that often hurts actually began to ache as did my head as I began to develop a migraine.
Why is it that so many humans feel that their humanity is somehow more important than someone else's? Why do they feel that they have the right to take something that is not theirs to take? Why do men in positions of power use that power to silence women when they assault them? Why are they assaulting them at all?
Why on earth are they pretending that somehow this is their God given right - I mean seriously, how on earth can anyone believe that a loving God would encourage men to assault women.
My heart is broken, my faith is shaken, my belief systems continue to crumble around me as I see more and more brokenness in the world.
