Wonder what the framers of the constitution were thinking when they penned these words, "in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, assure domestic tranquility" hmmm
We heard our President tell us that we have been endowed with certain inalienable rights. I wonder why the founders did not include that we also were endowed with certain "unalterable responsibilities" or "inherent respectfulness"
Might the idea of a more perfect union refer to a community where the communal rights and responsibilities and the individual rights and responsibilities are respectfully in balance and harmony through perfect inner peace and perfect outer loving.
Perfect union then would be the balance and harmony of the system of personal and social responsibility, respectfulness, and rights.
About Me
- Don Paine
- I am a pastor and a clinical psychotherapist. My life's passion is defining healthiness from a human perspective and paralleling it to the holiness of God, divine perspective. Shifting perspectives creates a paradigm that is alongside of rather than over and against. The parakalein of God and the paradoxes of humanity are redefined. Humanity is all about winning and yet we are losing ground everywhere. Divinity is all about letting go of the desire to win and the fear of loss. The Divine embraces the world with loving care regardless of anything.
