Actual faith vs performative religion.

To shave your beard is a huge sacrifice for a devout Sikh. It is a sacrifice for the greater good, that many people will scoff at without understanding the amount of love it took, to give up part of your faith to serve the greater purpose of that faith. Bless them all.

Wow, this is huge. Like, omg. I had a Sikh girl in my class who explained to me once just how important the practice of kesh is, and the fact these men are choosing to sacrifice that for the greater good is just…I’m blown away.
