View of the Week: On Righteousness & Values

On the Dawn of December here in #Outsiders, these collections of thoughts from +Jonathan Huie brings home the responsibility that we all have for righteousness and a sense of Purpose:  To be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others. - Nelson Mandela When the rights of any group, no matter how small, no matter how marginal, are violated, your liberty, your freedom is put at risk. Let there never be a day when we cast about in horror and have to ask the question, "How did it ever come to this?" - Thomas Childers   I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve. - Albert Schweitzer Giving is the highest expression of our power. - Vivian Greene Honor, Forgiveness, Gratitude, Choice, Vision, Action, Celebration, Unity - The Values of an Inspired Life. - Jonathan Lockwood Huie In dwelling, live close to the ground. In thinking, keep to the simple. In conflict, be fair and generous. In governing, don't try to control. In work, do what you enjoy. In family life, be completely present. - Lao Tzu & This:  Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.     ~ Buddha Enough Said....
