We
consciously and actively choose to become better human beings (or not).
We choose to either apply what we learn or laggardly allow inertia to
hold sway. Freedom of Choice is an inescapable
responsibility in everything we think, feel and do.
Choose
not to decrease soot emissions and breathe dirty air, then watch cancer
and other health issues increase. Treat women as chattels and lose
their productive abilities. Lie to yourself and others so that you can
hide your deficiencies and stifle your personal growth.
Cause
and Effect is unavoidable. It's called Reality. Denial or failure to
recognize the Truth becomes neurosis and then psychosis. Unanswered
opportunities become challenges and then crises. Whether the issue is
trade deficits or gingivitis, negligence is self destructive whether
it's at the personal level or the international level.
Individually
and as groups we can consciously commit to courses of action that are
rational and wise. Then we can alter those directions as feedback from
our actions occurs. The failure to take action in the first place
because we are paralyzed by fear is called the "sin of omission".
Choose life.
