But the relationship is not equal. It is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that just because something has been given, the giver is now free of any further involvement. It is so easy to give someone money, a meal, a blanket, or whatever, and then to walk away feeling satisfied. It is another thing to share one's love. Sharing implies a relationship between equals where the give and take go in both directions.
Sharing requires a much greater commitment between the parties involved. . . .
This love is the seed of hope that keeps us all living when the circumstances of life seem bent on bringing us down. The people I am working with are living the injustice that comes from the corruption in the Argentine political and economic orders. I don't have the power to fight this injustice on my own, but I can help feed the fires of life and love that can give anyone the dignity to defy the injustices of daily existence and to love back in the face of indifference. I don't know if I, Kathleen Marie Griffin, will have an opportunity to make a difference in the systems and structures of injustice in Argentina probably not. But perhaps I can help share courage, hope, and wisdom to those who might make a difference.
