the discipline of seeking justice.
Despite the intrinsic beauty and joy of our world, nations and societies are rife with injustice. The clever and the powerful have always been adept at seeking their own advantage even at the expense of the poor and the weak. But one of the foundational stories of our culture asserts that we are inextricably inter-dependent and that each of us is our brother's and sister's keeper. Ignoring the welfare of others is not an option. Living ethically in our downstream-from-Eden world means seeking justice not just for ourselves, but also for our neighbors.
