It Matters (By Benedictine Sister of Erie, Sister Joan Chittister)


HERE is a fine essay on what really matters. Snippet (but read the whole thing):
What may count most, however, is that we may well be the ones Proverbs warns when it reminds us: "Kings take pleasure in honest lips; they value the one who speaks the truth." The point is clear: If the people speak and the king doesn't listen, there is something wrong with the king. If the king acts precipitously and the people say nothing, something is wrong with the people.
