Furthermore, equality of outcomes seems fundamentally incompatible with the human condition in my view. I share your focus and emphasis on process, believing that many other issues resolve themselves if the "process" is conducted justly and fairly. Having said this, all systems on this earth are human systems in the end, and what one carries in their heart will determine not just their individual choices and outcomes, but the outcomes of the system as a whole, as all systems (just and unjust) are made up of individuals. I pray every day for more and more people to look to Jesus and his teachings for their understanding of how to best function within the various systems that envelope their lives. But I never forget that justice in this world has to begin with me and what I choose to do every day. I always pray for the strength to be just and fair in accordance with God. The responsibility is always mine first and foremost ... and failing on any particular day is no excuse for me not to try my best the following day.Ian Sterling - KBC DRnoreply@blogger.com
