RE: What Is A Single Sentence That Sums Up Your Life?

in #steemiteducation6 years ago

It is of course not original... and I do not always succeed... but my intention is to live by what Jesus summarized as the two most important commands of the then-existing bible:

Love God with all my being.
Love my neighbor as myself.

Those are abbreviated from his rendering of them, which you can read here if you like.

These I have made every effort to embed in the minds of my grandchildren, in ultimately simple form: "Love God, and love everybody else."

Another form this appears in is as "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

I have further considered that I can peacefully coexist with anyone who will even follow a least-common-denominator subset of this:

"Just leave me alone."

Sadly, I have yet to find a government or a society that will even abide by that ultimately simple rule. Everyone wants to meddle in my business, tell me what to do, and force me to do it their way. Humbug!
