Believe me, I'm the last person to say that I don't believe in miracles. But you're still seeing things with far too short a perspective - the truth of the matter is that goodness isn't enough.

[There's no anger in it; there rarely is.]

If the goodness of people alone were enough to purge the world of sin and suffering, it would have already. And yet here we are.

The deluge will continue - there won't be peace - until the universe is acted on by a force greater than the sum of its suffering and its pain.

[Whether that force is grace, or God, or...something else entirely is hard to say.]

That's what the Kenoma offers.
