More From Nicholas D. Kristof

My paramount object in this struggle is to save the union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. if i could save the union without freeing any slave i would do it, and if i could save it by freeing all the slaves i would do it; and if i could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone i would also do that. what i do about slavery, and the colored race, i do because i believe it helps to save the union; and what i forbear, i forbear because i do not believe it would help to save the union.

It is to law alone that men owe justice and liberty. it is this salutary organ, of the will of all which establishes in civil rights the natural equality between men. it is this celestial voice which dictates to each citizen the precepts of public reason, and teaches him to act according to the rules of his own judgment and not to behave inconsistently with himself. it is with this voice alone that political leaders should speak when. they command.

The savior taught his disciples, 'for whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it' (luke 9:24)."i believe the savior is telling us that unless we lose ourselves in service to others, there is little purpose to our own lives. those who live only for themselves eventually shrivel up and figuratively lose their lives, while those who lose themselves in service to others grow and flourish—and in effect save their lives.
Believe Purpose Littles
Human beings are very unbalanced and prone to go off on tangents. in every area of life- with too great emphasis on one thing, leaving out another important thing altogether. none of us will ever be perfectly balanced in our spiritual lives, our intellectual lives, our emotional lives, our family lives, in relationships with other human beings, or in our business lives. but we are challenged to try, with the help of god. we are meant to live in the scriptures.

Unless we possess high spiritual qualifications, there is no doubt that the events life throws upon us will give rise to frustration, emotional turmoil, and other distorted states of consciousness. these imperfect states of mind in turn give rise to imperfect activities, and the seeds of suffering are ever planted in a steady flow.
