The Best Samaritan

Fear of punishment or retribution by a higher power is no reason for doing a good deed or the right thing. Anyone and everyone will perform an altruistic act if they think someone is watching and judging. Such cowardly acts are based on fear of reprisal and selfishness and carry little weight as deeds of service unto others.

When you are obligated to help others, do so with a kind heart and an open mind and focus on the welfare of those who will receive your kindness.

But service unto others without obligation or fear of judgment is the highest form of all services rendered freely to mankind.

The Truth of the Matter

Truth, like water, always seeks its own level and follows the path of least resistance to get there. It flows through all the channels of untruth and complexity that attempt to misdirect it and keep it from its goal. The truth is everywhere and in all things.

The truth is always simple and clear and the goal of truth is to be known and, once known, to be applied. This is the crowning achievement of all knowledge. This is wisdom.

The truth is never hidden. What is true can never be buried or lost. Yet the truth will never cease to be discarded by the many who find its shining simplicity unworthy of their own ambition.

But the truth will always be found by the few who desire it as a guide in their service to others.
