better

I know the difference between right and wrong, and I can tell good from bad.  But I also know that the more difficult decisions come when we have to choose between good and better.  The toughest calls of all are those we have to make between bad and worse.

Good, better, best.
Never let it rest,
Until your good is better,
And your better is best.

Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.

There is no best, only better!

You cannot get sick enough to help sick people get better. You cannot get poor enough to help poor people thrive. It is only in your thriving that you have anything to offer anyone. If you're wanting to be of an advantage to others, be as tapped in, turned in, turned on as you can possibly be. --- Abraham

My Soul’s Marriage

A commitment to your own and
the world’s transformation.

For the Benefit of myself and All Beings.

I,            (my ego & personality)

Do solemnly swear
to love, honor and obey my soul,
my path to realization  and
relationship with a higher,
deeper creative power,
for better or worse,
for richer or poorer,
in sickness and in health,
from now and forever more.

We can drop the fundamental hope that there is a better "me" who one day will emerge. We can't just jump over ourselves as if we were not there.

And the more you are active about something you love, the world is going to be a better place.

Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each New Year find you a better man.

I urge one and all to live this life as if there is no reward in the afterlife and to do it in a moral way that makes it better for you and for those around you, and that leaves this world a little better place than when you found it.
