Democracy: Preserving It

In America [indeed, in the world, but we must start here] nobody wins unless we all win. By winning, I mean that we maintain and improve on what we’ve been given: this amazing Democracy, and all that it promises. Our wise Founders knew that we could only do so if we were a spiritually mature people. The primary result of spiritual maturity is the ability to love all humans, a palpable humility, being expandingly thankful to God for what we have, being amazed at this incredible journey that we are all, on this small planet, embarked upon, having been brought forth by some amazing Source or magnificent act of benevolence that we would all be wise to seek or meditate upon. By loving I mean that we face and, with help from the God Who gave us life, progressively overcome our own personal darkside/shadow/sinful nature. We cannot love without doing that. It is impossible. The unacknowledged darkside will always win the day. Darkness prevails if not dragged out into the Light that it hates. If we do not do this personally, individually, we will not be able to do it in the world outside ourselves. But if we do it, we will do more than preserve our Democracy, we will create the beginnings of heaven here on earth.
