…….. The exploration of different paths in moving towards these universal ideals in such a multi-cultural world can be frustrating and stressful. Yet, when you approach the search with a sense of curiosity, and share your ideas and learn from others, you are humbled by your own ignorance of the diverse ways of life around the world, which can also be a source of great delight. And, in the process, you become much wiser towards learning new ways of living in unity that you might have never before considered.
Author’s Comment: Belief in a set of universal ideals which are held by humanity as a whole provides a foundation for the believer on which to build her life. Yet, understanding that these ideals often are colliding with each other can lead her to see how others balance these conflicting ideals and search out ways to best harmonize them in her own life. This never-ending struggle may, at times, be difficult to carry out, yet living more and more in accord with these ideals blesses her with a sense of confidence and integrity which is a shining light to those around her.
