Within the Beatitudes, there are the Four Noble Truths.  Life is suffering.  Mindfulness, the ultimate cure-all, is not possible without compassion, kindness, understanding.

Jesus is an art form as much as anything else.  An inspiration for depictions of himself, for in himself, there is all of us, and what we are.

Wine holds compassion for us.  It lets us a breather away from our deeper problems.
