Nicely done, ma'am. It impressed me that it took 900 pages and Beccles 3,000 lines of Latin verse; but when you think about it, Matthew 7:12 sums it all up succinctly:
“So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets."
"Civility, the art of human flourishing, is the basic respect and consideration that we are owed, and owe to other members of the human community."
Since when has civility, taking a civil stand, been an art of owing or owning respect and consideration?
You do not owe me respect, I must earn it. Just as you will have to earn mine. So be civil.
I will give consideration to you without trying to judge a perception and only expect the same in return. This shows respect.
There is no human community, but there are communities of humans who cannot or will not consider another's perception, much less respect it with civility.
Christian Nationalists are aggressively trying to take over America and destroy democracy. When they acknowledge that all human beings are creatures of god and deserve to live in peace, I’ll consider treating them with the civility that reasonable people deserve. They take pride in being unreasonable, and I take pride in having enough integrity to not be intimidated by them. We will make peace when the time comes, but first we have to fight for the future of America and the wellbeing of all her people.
