Two Unvaccinated Canadians, Denied Organ Transplants, Have Died - Intellectual Takeout

This is very sad. And the doctors and hospital asked the deceased relatives if they would donate the unvaccinated deceased person organs so others may live. Canada healthcare is a tremendous joke!

I'm currently reading the little memoir of Cardinal Nguyen Van Thuan, 'Five Loaves and Two Fish', about his time as a prisoner of the communist regime in 1970's Vietnam. In it, he recounts his despair at being held in solitary confinement in the prison of Phu Khanh. Two guards always accompanied him, but refused to speak to him and accept his kindness. He writes: "What could I do? One night, a thought came to me: 'Francis, you are still very rich. You have the love of Christ in your heart. Love them as Jesus has loved you'. The next day I began to love them, to love Jesus in them". From this moment on, a change came over his guards, and slowly over the whole prison. Everyone needs to be loved, and especially those tormented by bitterness. Many of us a racked by thoughts of failure, loneliness and desperation, which lead us astray, and fill our lives and those of others with misery. But, as you say, "we can make ourselves available for a change of heart". Perhaps if we recognise the way we demonise others and replace these impulses with thoughts of love and understanding, we might just be able to change the world.
