I sin when I despise the resistance of other objects and when I refuse my availability to other objects.

Levi R Bryant in his introduction to Speculative Grace by Adam Miller

As Miller will say, objects are characterized by “resistant availability.” My openness to grace depends on my openness to this resistant availability. And if grace is openness to this resistant availability, it follows that the charged term “sin” names a refusal of this grace, a refusal of the weakness and suffering imposed by this resistant availability. I sin when I despise the resistance of other objects and when I refuse my availability to other objects.
