What do we understand?

"My problem is I say what I'm thinking before I think what I'm saying." ~ Dr. Laurence J. Peter

We understand little these days, other than what is near to us. Worldly distractions continue to pile up at our doors and windows trying to get inside to influence our minds. Constant onslaught cannot be avoided, it may however be evaded. Not by ducking and running, not by scrambling to hide, but boldly standing by our principles.
Situations that normally cause distress are handled with grace and compassion for all involved. Morality is not just rhetoric and words spoken to incite or illicit a response; it is how we daily live our lives. How people really perceive us. Actions do really speak louder than words. If we live this way daily it is done without thinking it becomes our nature.


"Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task." ~ William James

"A man does not have to be an angel in order to be saint." ~ Albert Schweitzer

"Never trust a person who’s always critical, and always distrust a person who’s never critical." ~ Dr. Mardy Grothe
