Wonderful essay. Great example of a standard that we should all try to set for ourselves, but finding ourselves so often falling short. To paraphrase, “There is no love greater than for one man to lay down his own life for the sake of his brother.” Thank you for sharing this insightful and meaningful perspective.

Karl, I appreciate the kind note. Yes, we fall short but as long as we don't rationalize away our failings, a process of improvement begins.

Too often people think the future written, but it is in our hands, and our weapon must be love.
