Human Hands

I sat in church today staring at my hands and had a silly realization. These same two hands that have caressed have also brutally beaten. These same two hands that have created poems and art, have also destroyed bones and brick.

Then I looked at human hands in general. Human hands have done amazing and terrible things. The same human hands that painted the Sistine Chapel assassinated Martin Luther King, Jr. The same human hands that made Penicillin also made smallpox.

The power in human hands is unlimited.
Don't waste it. And don't abuse it.
