On Losers
March 29, 2025 | By Sharla Moody BK ‘22, YDS ‘25
It’s easy—perhaps even unconscious—to imagine everyone existing in a shifting hierarchy one constantly strives to wind up on top of. Even if I genuinely want to resist the winners-losers mindset, I find myself in constant comparison with others, tallying the score of a game that I say doesn’t matter but in fact does matter in some way to me. The cardinal sin of the winners-losers binary is that it accepts the terms of the game without question.
Praying Paradoxes
March 10, 2022 | By Joseph McDonough H’23
Reading from the book of Job, I can’t help but think of my Uncle Tom. As I write, he is fighting to recover from a serious brain surgery. He is foggy, distant; from what my Aunt Dorie tells us, it is as if he has been half asleep since the surgery. We are all praying for him, none more than my aunt, who has waited at his bedside now for a month. How do you pray at such a time? What do you say to God?
