When will we make decisions for the better of the greater good? When will we step back from our stubborn and fantastic belief in our notion of freedom and realize how we are being held hostage by our own self-centered demands.
Are we so caught up in ourselves that we cannot sacrifice when the risk to the greater good is at stake?
I do not refer just to guns. I ask about healthcare, about care for returning military with PTS, about assessing our well-being through social programs, prayer, meditation, schools, work, church, the grocery store. I ask about opening our eyes and slowing down long enough to notice.
We must be the advocates of those struggling. We must take care of our children and preserve their innocence, curiosity and their dreams.
Our job on this earth is not working alone. Despite our own troubles, our job is to reach out, to act, think and speak on behalf of the greater good. When we all show up for work, no one will be left for dead.
