It is a general rule that when we don’t transform our pain we will always transmit it. Zealots and contemporary liberals often have the right conclusion, but their tactics and motives are frequently filled with self, power, control, and the same righteousness that they hate in conservatives. Basically, they want to do something to avoid holding the pain until it transforms them. Because of this too-common pattern, I have come to mistrust almost all righteous indignation and moral outrage. In my experience, it is hardly ever from God.
