Walls

               Everyone clamors to get in where the rule of law prevails. What is the rule of law? It is the Mosaic principle that every person is created in the image and likeness of God and must always be considered in that light.

               But “unless God watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain.” Why? Because unless the city wall itself is the Mosaic principle of the brotherhood of all persons, the law of the jungle played out inside the city is the same as the jungle law outside the city, albeit with different rules.

 “The feeding trough in America is infinite,” T. Boone Pickens said. If you know the rules.

           The same drama is acted out continually inside every human heart. That’s what is meant by, “the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.” Unless my thinking is predicated upon my stake in the well-being of every other human, it’s just predation.
