Privilege and disenfranchisement<\/strong>
\nAre two sides of the same coin<\/strong>
\nDefining this flipping world<\/strong>
\nAnd the soul weigh out<\/strong>
\nIs to stop chasing coin<\/strong>
\nAnd exorcise our debt to won another<\/strong>
\nJust us fore awe<\/strong><\/p>\n

People are more important than things.\u00a0 Human persons are more important than corporate persons.\u00a0 You can’t serve God and money.\u00a0 These are relatively simple truths that can order our disordered lives, individually and collectively.\u00a0 Chasing the almighty buck degrades the awesome aspects of our humanity.\u00a0 Focusing on how we can profit from others, what we can get from others, is the ultimate “taker” attitude.\u00a0 For those who have a lot, are on the long end of the stick, the looming threat of disenfranchisement, and those disenfranchised seeking justice, assures that having is never enough. Even those with little, or on the short end of the stick, often internalize this sick attitude as wannabe privileged, perpetuating the dominant worldview of domination over others. \u00a0 As I see it, the soul weigh to get rid of this two sides of the same coin is to get rid of coin.\u00a0 Inasmuch as people are viewed as means to ends, we will have a whirled of mean, and unsatisfying ends.\u00a0 Recognizing, honoring, and glorying in each other’s irreducible humanity and awesome possibility is perhaps the only debt we have to each other.\u00a0 If you view this debt to one another as a privilege or a duty, you are correct.\u00a0 The awe at the heart of our humanity is what should command our respect and serve as our authority in all matters.\u00a0 Our greatest gift to one another is to serve awe.\u00a0 May you find awe that you are looking for, and may awe that you due serve others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
