How to Be Redeemed

Where is the redemption in all of this life? A momentary cessation of pain is not enough to permanently stop the pain of existence. All life is suffering and we eliminate the suffering by not being attached to anything that is not real, and so much of what we deal with is not real.

I am no redeemer, no savior, no knight in shining armor. I'm just as flawed and fucked up as everyone else. The only redemption I'm capable of is the redemption that I can give to those I meet, if for some brief moment, however fleeting, they can realize, I care.
