Mahatma Gandhi

For me, the idealized (Platonic) norm should be ethical. When the choice is thrust upon you to decide to delay gratification isn't the choice easy? Discuss both implications of this open-ended assumption.

Yes, I agree there is a profound wisdom found in the forgiveness of one's self and others, but the ridiculous responsion is part of the equation. If you disagree, I forgive you. For what it's worth. Expand on that for a bit while I read a little Walt Whitman.

House rules dictate perfection or your best attempt. Consistent improvement manifest from prioritizing your priorities. Reconcile your values with the virtues of one's self, define your needs by what you can perfect. Discipline is the key.

Blinding intolerance defines retributive justice. A neurological approach to right and wrong is ethical. How so? Explore the depths of compassion as it relates to the behavior of the human species. How does biology determine? How about big data?

A passive approach to pacifism may be gentle, but it's not the only way to shake things up. Discuss the Gandhian brand of passivity, if I recall this man held steadfast to his fasting for 21 days yet his wife is rarely mentioned.

The double entendre in the titled responsion refers to a gift, but not is the consumer sense. The present is the gift because of the potentiality to a future and the realization that every moment is a gift. Give the best of yourself.

Making a lifestyle change, is it that simple? Why is it so difficult? Discuss change and the habitual rut our carbon addictions keep us tethered to. Excessive simplicity is an exaggeration or is it? What statement are you making if you do more than your part contribute less than your fair share?
