Our responsibility

Our responsibility is both easy and difficult: we must share our persons.

Easy because it is no work because it is us; difficult because we are not used to doing so. But we must do so if we are to progress to the higher places we desire.

This is a responsibility we owe to our grandchildren and our grand-nieces and -nephews. This is a responsibility we owe to the world simply because we are here. The world owes us respect because we are here, but we owe the world and those in it the respect of giving our very selves. This is the bargain we accepted when we accepted birth.

We can make the world better. And not just in small ways. We can increase the level of good of the whole world. Not only can we, but we have the duty to work at this. Results are far from guaranteed to any one of us, but only possibly within the grasp of all of humanity.

A tree is not a tree

A tree is not a tree
without the soil
without the rains
without the sun
A human is not human
a person is not a person
without friends
without shared bread
without shared work
without shared dreams

:- Doug.
