but are the directions true?
when beliefs are skewed but firm
based in principles divisive and cruel,
standards can be at great odds.
But are all directions easy?
when beliefs are fair and firm
based in principles of goodness and reality.
Standing up for these beliefs is a challenge.
in today’s world
balance differing beliefs
based in principles of benefit and loss.
Carefully choose your own standards.
“Aspire to decency. Practice civility toward one another. Admire and emulate ethical behaviour wherever you find it. Apply a rigid
standard of morality to your lives; and if, periodically, you fail - as you surely will - adjust your lives, not your standards.”
~ Ted Koppel
