Myth of wellness

*

Today the Pharisee is the person who is well. He (perhaps she) looks over at her mentally ill neighbor and says, Thank God I'm not like that person over there (while all the mentally ill person can manage is the scriptural plea: Jesus, please rescue me).

The well person, the Pharisee, looks over at his ill brother and sees no resemblance, missing the fact that the ill person's condition is also his own.
