God's intent to bring us all into a unified connection and harmony, to a reconciled reality in which peace and justice prevail, and in which every single human being is honored as being made in the image of God, that vision has not been impaired, has not been delayed, but in fact belongs to us. That hope is real.   Now has anyone here ever heard of the term toxic positivity? Toxic positivity? Toxic positivity is the idea of insisting on having a positive attitude about everything so much that it's actually kind of toxic, that it's actually kind of gross.   The person who's like, you know, we gotta find the silver lining in this, and you're like, can you just let me be miserable for a second? There are times when we are sad, there are times when we grieve. And toxic positivity is that thing that sort of tries to shame us out of experiencing the fullness of our feelings by insisting that we only have a sunny disposition, that we pull our socks up and get moving and not worry about the sorrow and the sadness within.
