The realization that we are all basically the same human beings who seek happiness and try to avoid suffering is very helpful in developing a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood; a warm feeling of love and compassion for others.
My hope is to incite that feeling of inspiration in as many other people as possible. To receive and pass along that baton to anyone willing to carry it further. I guess the answer to the question would be I'm inspired by the work of those (and sometimes even the people themselves) who strive to inspire.
"I Hate To Hear People Say This Judge Will Vote So And So, Because He Is A Democrat -- And This One So And So Because He Is A Republican. It Is Shameful. The Judges Have The Constitution For Their Guidance; They Have No Right To Any Politics Save The Politics Of Rigid Right And Justice When They Are Sitting In Judgment Upon The Great Matters That Come Before Them."
Each human being was given two qualities: power and the gift. Power directs us towards our destiny; the gift obliges us to share with others what is best in us.
The bible is not a blueprint for every day of your life, it is an inspiration not a blueprint. That requires that we listen to one another and get challenged and grow by living with difference within the body of the church.
There are people who think that honesty is always the best policy. This is a superstition. There are times when the appearance of it is worth six of it.
