Do you see bodhisattvas everywhere?
I'm listening to Ulysses S. Grant's memoir and a history book on him and I can draw this picture:
Grant going amongst the fallen on the battlefield giving them water and small comforts that he can offer.
Grant hiring black men and paying them wages in Missouri where everyone else has slaves and did not like him hiring workers, and working alongside them.
Despite depression, introversion, a propensity to be swindled, inattention to details and alcoholism, he comes alive with a sense of justice about the issue of abolition and honoring his commitment to a country that educated him to raise to General during the Civil War and later becomes president.
