When you choose the other one.

This is the nine­teenth in a series of posts reflec­ting on the impor­tance of our actions and what we do to contri­bute to some­thing, and ideal­ly, some­thing grea­ter. These posts should be read in order of publi­ca­tion. Star­ting with num­ber six, for example, would make no sense to the rea­der. Hap­py reading!

This is how our third choice becomes clear. This choice is cha­rac­te­ri­zed by its total devo­tion to others. I want to be extre­me­ly clear on this point. Devo­tion is not to our parents more than to our chil­dren, to our fami­ly more than to our neigh­bors, to our fel­low citi­zens more than to people of other nations, but to all in a fair and gene­rous way. To make this work, we must adopt a way of giving before receiving.

It starts with exem­pla­ry citi­zen­ship. My next series of posts will offer you seve­ral examples of how to create a civi­li­zed social code of conduct that is focu­sed on rein­for­ce­ment. The esta­blish­ment of a gent­le­man­ly atti­tude for all where our neigh­bor comes before us, because without us, our neigh­bor has nothing.

This approach encou­rages kind­ness and gene­ro­si­ty. It nou­rishes the soul as no per­so­nal vic­to­ry can, like no drug can simu­late ecs­ta­sy. Its disap­pea­rance causes a loss so pain­ful that it will drag our entire socie­ty into a dark age where the indi­vi­dual lives for their own sur­vi­val, ceases to evolve and begins the tra­gic jour­ney of regression.

To be continued…
