Man is once more faced with the problem of himself. He can cope with every danger except the danger of human nature itself. In the last resort it all turns upon man. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Bonhoeffer's wisdom shines through the writings which survived him. My futile thoughts frequently return to the quote above. People connect to the world with stories large and small and some of the biggest include God. He is impressive and beyond. But at the heart, he too is human, an invention and when we stand facing the future as technologically powerful as we do now we are not truly afraid of much except that which we do to each other. It all turns upon man.
