For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.
— I Peter 2:20
King James Version of the Bible
“Providential Guideposts”
Moral Compass … p. 59
It is our moral responsibility to be true to ourselves and to others. Just as it is good for the soul when we look for the goodness in others.
Giving freely of ourselves refreshes the soul and allows us to love our fellow-man. A prerequisite being that we free ourselves of judging others.
Our moral compass, no less our instinct, compels us to do unto others that which we would have them do unto us.
There are, in truth, but a few guideposts to follow if we are to achieve and maintain a balance in life. That which starts us on our journey is to reign-in the mind. Because we have allowed our lives to be governed by worldly matters we have neglected the immortal soul: that which gives rise to our own spirituality. Reclaiming our divine Goodness means quieting the mind, allowing the soul to soar: life no less so.
