The fact that we focus upon good things is no guarantee that our efforts will merit respect and support. Being addicted to good things is not a good thing. We cannot prove that we are righteous by pointing to all the good things upon which we focus our time, energy, money and resources --- if in fact we lack balance, love, gentleness, meekness, personal integrity and communal integrity. In addition to focusing upon individual things which are individually good, we need to act in ways which are balanced in keeping with basic principles of balance: 1. Alienation is not to be engendered with indifference to the suffering it brings. 2. The better the balance, the less the alienation. 3. Power is not to be used to take anything from the poor to give to the rich. 4. The achievement of self-righteousness is unworthy of honor, respect or support. 5. Blindness which comes from narrow specialization is not worthy of honor, respect or support. 6. Too much of any good thing is not a good thing. 7. Be alert to what is needful but is absent; seeking to discern what is absent and is needed. 8. Beware of dispositions towards exclusivity. 9. Beware of dispositions towards perfection. 10. Make it easy for others to be open and honest. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
