There's some how to forgive inspiration out there in the universe.

How to forgive people?

How to forgive people for abandoning so many kinds of girls and women and poor people just to get by in this life?

How to forgive people for acting like money and houses were more important than the health of human beings?

I was raised to be Christian. In this life, as I have gotten older and the obvious effects of wealth inequality seem to be getting worse, I've become a person who needs some kind of comfort and relief from the despair that our highly materialistic society is so willing to deposit on so many.

My favorite thing about Christianity is that there's something in it that teaches people to be compassionate to other people, and there is a strand of it that teaches you to not be so materialistic and to value spirituality. 

There are so many people who actually are in denial about how dependent they are on others. They never want to think about who they rely on for all their food and clothing. 

But there's a strand of Christianity that doesn't want us to settle for that, and I'm glad that it exists.
