The recognition that our lives are far from identical is part of the project; it allows us to step in where others are cut down or bashed in or weak. Our task is not to share a heart but to share a goal, where the goal is liberation. Our great strength, if we can use it, is that we cannot be completely destroyed—that whatever angle we’re attacked from, there will always be more of us, riled up and righteous and coming back twice as hard.
