Woe to you, guardians of the protocol, for you have become experts at counting the smallest errors in your neighbor's code while ignoring the pride growing in your own hearts.
You argue over blocks and bytes, but forget that behind every node is a person. You defend the freedom of money, yet sometimes fail to practice the freedom to listen.
You praise decentralization, yet beware lest your own certainty become centralized within yourselves.
You build systems meant to resist the power of kings, but do not let the desire to be right become a king over you.
You call others enemies of the network because they see differently. Did you not remember that the first command was not 'win the argument,' but 'love your neighbor'?
Blessed are the patient, for they preserve more than chains of blocks—they preserve community.
Blessed are those who seek truth without contempt, for they shall find wisdom.
Blessed are those who can admit, 'I may be wrong,' for they are closer to understanding than those who cannot be corrected.
The protocol is a tool. Freedom is the purpose. Do not worship the tool and forget the people it was meant to serve.
A tree is known by its fruit. So ask not only, 'Who has the better code?' Ask, 'What kind of people are we becoming as we build it?'"
