Unreasonable People

George Bernard Shaw once said, "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man."

A friend lent me a book a few weeks ago by John Elkinton & Pamela Hartingan called, "The Power Of Unreasonable People; How Social Entrepreneurs Create Markets That Change The World." It's a great read.

It made me think that people of faith are generally unreasonable people too. We practice forgiveness and reconciliation.  We hope when there seems no reason for it. We celebrate life now and firmly believe in life after death. We love people who don't respond in love... hmm...perhaps this is just another way of saying we have some weird friends?! Anyway, maybe you are an unreasonable person? If so, awesome!
