Survivors have a child's innocent curiosity. A basic religious impulse is to be curious about the fact of existence. And Jesus, remember, didn't trust the authorities just because they had written it down, he encouraged this native curiosity. Survivors exhibit a non-judgmental attitude. They feel that, having fought a disease, they have had enough of judgment, and they are more careful about how they spread it around.
Survivors exhibit the willingness to look foolish and make mistakes.
That was the essence of the ministry of Jesus. To all authority he looked like a fool, a dangerous fool. But he went on healing. They have an active imagination. At the heart of the story we tell, at the deeper and deeper levels of meaning that we mediate in our tradition are these stories, the product of an active and holy imagination.
