irresponsible tolerance < grace

i am always around teenagers
i get to hear them speak of whom is ” cool” as far as adults
to the surprise of many adults, cool is not ever someone lax, who just lets kids get away with stuff.
those adults are not respected actually, and they are taken advantage of- they try to act cool and therefore cannot
cool is one who thinks openly and gives mutual respect to others, it is graceful and accepting

some folks mistake grace for
–lax
as if grace is just turning a blind eye
they want others to turn a blind eye
and they turn a blind eye to others

but it is love
to show us that we are hurting, others, ourselves
it is grace
a place where we experience in all of our senses
absorption of the damage done
work in restoring and healing
a gentle stoke upon our head
this responsible intolerance is grace
that leads us from our grave and sets us on the only path to life
