Freedom is not the right to do whatever we want; | |
It is the privilege of doing what we ought; | |
It is not private license; | |
it is public responsibility; | |
It is not freeing ourselves; | |
it is binding ourselves for the good of all. | |
— Bishop Robert Brown | |

The job of priests with respect to the lay people is not to make them the longa manus of the clergy, telling them what they’ve got to do; but to make them believing men and women, adult Christians, leaving them to meet and fulfill the concrete demands of their Christianity on their own responsibility and in accordance with their own consciences. | |

I never blame myself when I’m not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn’t my fault that I’m not hitting, how can I get mad at myself? | |

The Responsibility Side Is On The Right
Posted in Health, Leadership, Other Blogs, Philosophy, Politics, Quotes, tagged Boldness, Compassion, COVID-19, Dignity, Freedom, Health & Safety, http://meditationsinmotion.wordpress.com, Leadership, Other Blogs, Philosophy, Politics, Public Safety, Quotes, Responsibility, Strength, Weakness, Wearing A Mask, Wise Choices on August 21, 2020| 3 Comments »
Yes, in this country we have freedom, we have rights, but our rights end when they infringe on the health and safety of others. | |
We have rights, but we also have responsibilities. When did we forget the responsibility side of the equation? | |
Our love of freedom causes us to make wise choices to keep each other safe. | |
Our freedom engenders concern and compassion. Our freedom gives us strength, not weakness. Our freedom makes us bold. Our freedom gives us dignity. Our freedom causes us to protect the most vulnerable among us. Our freedom generates in us the desire to do the right thing. | |
Our freedom prompts us to wear a mask. | |

Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry his own weight, this is a frightening prospect. | |

Sea Worthy

Amid questions, here’s what we’re sure of in the USS Fitzgerald collision… | |
“On the sea there is a tradition older even than the traditions of the country itself and wiser in its age than this new custom. It is the tradition that with responsibility goes authority and with them both goes accountability.” | |
It continues: “It is cruel, this accountability of good and well-intentioned men. But the choice is that or an end of responsibility and finally as the cruel scene has taught, an end to the confidence and trust in the men who lead, for men will not long trust leaders who feel themselves beyond accountability for what they do.” | |
“And when men lose confidence and trust in those who lead, order disintegrates into chaos and purposeful ships into uncontrollable derelicts.” | |
— By John Kirby | |
