No one is all evil or all goodness

There’s a saying I have heard and love to share,

“Every saint has had a past and every sinner has a future”

How true is this?  If this quote was not valid, every human being you have ever believed holy wouldn’t have had the journey to said holiness and anyone you have reviled, wouldn’t have had a mother who thought they were worthy of redemption.

No, we are a much more complicated species than meets the eye and even if you have a very black/white way of looking at things – there are many variations on white and lots of different shades/tones of black.  Just look in your closet.
