Driving out to an icecream shop, Seth and David got into some kind of argument with each other in the back seat. Seth said somethig like, “I see the worst person.” Immediately Ezme who was sitting right next to Seth, spoke up, “I see the best person.” Wow! The twosome argument went on. No one
caught the conversation but me. Ezme reminded me of Grace years ago when she was perhaps five or six at Mr. Jung’s two story house, where some ten of his Korean friends were invited with their children. Children were going up and down the stairs talking and screaming in a group. While the adults were watching them going up the stairs, Grace was the last at the bottom. Mr. Jung’s daughter looking down on Grace, angrily in a loud voice which all the adults heard, said, “I don’t like you.” Grace innocently looking up to her, “But I like you.” All who heard her, were jolted by her response. The girl, still looking at Grace, lost her words, looking blank in her eyes, didn’t know what to say, how to respond and stood there on the steps as if she lost all the strength. All looking at the scene were touched by the power of good over evil.
