Grace & Freedom
We are responsible for understanding what motivates our own thoughts and projections about ourselves and others. That’s number one.
Then we are responsible for implementing and practicing our spiritual values. I do not mean religious dogma forced on to others, rather that we live our conviction of all that we have understood and realized to be true at the deepest level. We forgive ignorance in ourselves and others. We hold our leaders and institutions responsible for upholding the values of this Nation. Life, Liberty, Freedom and Justice. Silence is golden in light of Self knowledge. Silence is deadly in the face of injustice. We the people, must express and enact fundamental human qualities of decency, fairness and kindness.
Shared ideals come from enacting one’s own values and ethics. Yes, ethics. To build one’s character on the basis of goodness and inspiration of the knowledge of our shared Humanity is to live in Grace….
May we seize this opportunity.
