Morals, Morality and Ethical Direction…

We often hear of morals, morality and ethical direction.
What they mean, I suppose, is “one’s discretion.”

Very seldom, is anything from the Bible being heard.
Why obey God’s commandments?  Why, that’s absurd!

Many claim, that as adults, just about anything is “o.k.”
As long...

And when the surgery is done
Transfer the most important part:
A conscience to his heart....

The Ethical Self
by
Rick Folker

If there is evil here, it is complacency, and it is collective.
- Courtney Martin/columnist for On Being

The Moral Arc is bent
but not broken
It can be retrieved and repaired
like a shattered heart
withering in the penumbra
of great grief

If only we take back the responsibility

Walking, walking, walking, walking,
Slower and slower and slower,
And s-l-o-w-e-r, 
And s-s-l-l-o-o-w-e-r still.
Barely moving...
Eyes shut tight...
Footsteps weaving...
Intestines heaving...
Racked by Hunger and Thirst,
Thirst and Hunger, Hunger and Thirst:
Woe is He and He is Woe;
He'll die of Starvation,
Unless his throat cracks first...

...Lost in a desert of endless sand,
So...

Ever came across a situation when your heart and your mind are in a state of conflict?
Your heart speaks one thing but your mind is in stark contrast!
Well! 
Yes I have.
And not just once but rather frequently.

A strategic application to the golden rule
Increasing power with apologies
Break the barriers that stand in the way of communication
Our society is on some broken ship out to sea
On some long awaited chartered vacation

Exploring the other persons viewpoint

We then parade ourselves as some vested nomadic tribesmen
Never...

Do you even bother to wonder anymore,
When you look at the news,
Or do you just chuckle to yourself,
About the gullibility of some.

Have you stopped asking yourself,
Now you know getting the answer,
Could take years, 
And lots of tears. 
With the answer not making one iota of...

When young Jack for a handful of beans swapped their cow,
It upset his poor mother who said with a scowl,
"What possessed you to make such a terrible trade?
For our milk-giving Guernsey so little be paid?"

Give me a good man
not a smart man.
Make me a thoughtful man
not a politician.

Take me to rich land
not a poor land.
Make me a stronger man
not a supposition....

Why is justice difficult to achieve--
Simple matter of doing what is right,
Fair, and inherently good, I believe,
Why is justice difficult to achieve?
A concept, surely, we can all perceive
Ideas for which we must join and fight
Why is justice difficult to achieve—
Simple matter of doing what is...
