We often rely on rules when they are not, in fact, the most efficient or effective solution to getting the result that we desire.
Dov Seidman, How: Why How We Do Anything Means Everything
In a rule-based society, we often choose efficiency over value, but, while rules-based governance systems may often serve well the values of fairness and representation, their seeming efficiency hides a deep and important flaw:
"exemplary conduct on your part will convince the world that merit is the just title to our privileges, and that on you, our favors have not been undeservedly bestowed."
this charge is relevant not only to the brotherhood which i belong to but also on being a public servant.
"when you do something weak to get pleasure, the pleasure passes quickly, but the shame sticks around.
but when you do something hard, when you push yourself, when you do something that takes strength, the struggle passes quickly, but the virtue, the benefit, sticks around."
prayer for generosity
dearest Lord,
teach me to be generous
teach me to serve you as you i should
to give and not to count the cost
to fight and not to heed the wounds
to toil and not to seek for rest
to labor and ask not for reward
save that of knowing that i do Your will.
“The best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain.” – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
