Looking back in time, it seems we are often on the verge of becoming the best that we can be, and then something happens and we slide back down the hill, beginning our sisyphean push back up the hill, always hoping we can reach the peak and hang out there for a while. In contemplating our human condition today, I ran across this which was written by Mary Baker Eddy in the last 1800s. I know it’s still true and we must continue the push!
“To my sense, the most imminent dangers confronting the coming century are: the robbing of people of life and liberty under the warrant of the Scriptures; the claims of politics and of human power, industrial slavery, and insufficient freedom of honest competition; and ritual, creed, and trusts in place of the Golden Rule, “Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.”
(The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany)
