“Ab honesto virum bonum nihil deterret”
-Seneca
Nothing deters a good man from doing what is honorable.
We cannot know the future,
We cannot know the outcome
Of our actions,
But,
If we have a moral compass to guide us,
We can have a reasonable hope for good things to come.
“Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connait point”
Pascal.
The heart has its reasons, whereof reason knows nothing.
Often you just know in your heart,
The right thing to do;
Just listen to your heart, and
Do what is needed.
Not as easy as it sounds, but when it happens,
You’ll know it is the right thing.
You should damn the risks.
“Gefangen in der Tat der Liebe”;
‘Caught in the act of Love’
Is a good act to be caught in which
To be caught, don’t you think?
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called
Children of God.”
We are all children
Of God;
We’re all peacemakers.
Just accept that in your heart.
Know it is true, and make
Peace.
First, make peace with
Yourself, then you can
Begin to work on the
World around you.
It is a start.

This is spot on. I have carried an old army compass on my travels for some 35 years now, and it rests on my altar between trips to remind me that it is always up to me to check my bearings and choose my direction.

Found some resonance with you, and indeed you are right:
It IS completely up to us to make those decisions
And choices. It isn't always so easy to follow thru
On them, but it still remains that it is up to us.

With yourself? That is a problem I wrestle with deeply, as I
Have so many things I've carried around for so long. For me
Writing about this is one way of exorcising those deeply
Troubling feelings, and if I can help others along as
I go, how better to make the world better?
