what you can do
is engage in honest, caring
conversation
in which you attempt to
discover or invent
useful
solutions
A commitment to loving
kindness
is not about other-serving
sacrifice
or any kind of personal
diminution.
It is about
sanity,
in the sense of individual
and
societal health. It is far
better for
us all to lean toward health
rather
than violence. Which kind
of society
do you prefer, is best for
you?
When I was young I claimed
to be
asocial -- not against
society, not of it.
Over time it became clear to
me
I was outside, an observer,
wondering
how, why, what were they
thinking,
where did those ways
originate?
Observer, even inward,
imagine
nations. Perched above too
far to
focus clearly. Patterns as
stories
dance.
Money, a human tool to
facilitate
trade, accounting, has no
world
standard weights and
measures.
We base its worth on
successive
exchange. It certainly
ought not impede
important work for our
people and
planet to be
well.
