  1. A great article with many profound thoughts. Please allow me to post this Scripture. It seems to tie them all together. Easy to read, hard to carry out in life.

    Php 4:8  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (KJV)

  3. Excellent post. Pretty heady stuff. I too believe that happiness comes from living a virtuous life.
    Fortune and prosperity ( however we define these ) and health can all be after effects of the life we live. What you said.
    My family and friends represent my treasure.
    Blessings

  4. A refreshing and timely post.

    Virtues and the ‘Golden Rule’ (Matthew 7:12) seem like distant memories of another lifetime in another country to this old coot. It breaks my heart to hear not remorse but complacency (even rejoicing!) over last night’s bombing of Syria, a sovereign foreign nation that has not hurt one home in America. How far Christians in America have fallen…

  5. “Fairness” and “Justice” must be distinguished. The root meaning of “fair”, as the boat- or airplane-builder knows, is smoothness , lack of bumps. “Fairness” as a slogan is often used to beat everyone down to one level, the essence of Socialism and grave injustice. The world is inherently bumpy, no two people or situations are truly equal, so Justice is doing what is proper in each case, finding what properly belongs to what, and respecting,and if necessary enforcing the proper rights of each.

  6. What in the world brought this one on? Timely, yes, needed, yes, direct and incisive, yes, but why now at this moment? I have found that in my lifetime, going with virtue caused me much pain and difficulties, but in the end, it was worth it. It also helped wise me up so that I wasn’t in that position again. If your conscience is clear, and you don’t need to confess anything, your sleep will be sweet.

  8. Stoic:
    While I can see the strength of being able to cope with whatever life throws, it seems a bit too passive for me.
    I prefer to live to the ethos “Do onto others whatever they do onto you”
    If someone has been good, kind, honest and fair, I do the same.
    If they are sarcastic, cruel, untrustworthy and unpleasant – you get the idea…

    God bless!
