It Isn't They... It's We.



I keep going back to classic documents of faith.

The Constitution...

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity..."

The Declaration of Independance...

"...with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."

The Koran...

"He both hears and knows."

The Bible (Matthew 6:9–13)...

"...forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation..."

The Torah...

"Competition is not your real enemy -- fear is. Choosing to follow the path of safety will cost you opportunities that will often be far greater than the potential losses you might incur on a riskier path."

They don't matter. They can't affect our well being.

We can choose to see happiness. We can choose to see the truth.
