MORE LOVE THAN HATE
David Holstrom, a tough-minded reporter, tells of watching a Boston TV program about a woman in her 40’s who was describing an extremely brutal childhood in which her father and mother abused her in every conceivable way. He writes: “Her face, slightly boyish and dusted with freckles, filled the television screen… Although she admitted that she still carried scars and sometimes struggled with terrible memories, she said her triumph was evidenced in a successful eleven-year marriage with a good man along with her ability to hold a responsible professional job. When the woman was asked why she thought she had not only survived but triumphed, she answered, `I had more love than they had hate.’ She said it just that way: direct, firm, and with chin tilted up just a little. `I had more love than they had hate.'” From Arthur J. Landwehr, Grace Church Pulpit, Naperville, Illinois
