Last summer there were a number of images that were floating around in my head.
I wish I could draw.
One image that comes to mind is a drawing of a classroom. At the front stands Miss Liberty and Uncle Sam. On the board, is written:
The 3 "R"s
1) Rights
2)
3)
Miss Liberty and Uncle Sam are standing, helplessly watching, as the kids break out into a brawl. The kids are yelling at each other 'My Rights!', 'My Rights!' as they fight. And Miss Liberty asks Uncle Sam 'But what about "Respect" and "Responsibility"?'
To me, all three are equally important, at all levels of our society.
In our communities.
In our businesses.
In our government.
And no picking and choosing when or where the 3 "R"s are applied.
They are for all people, all the time.
Not only in receiving them for ourselves, but also in giving them to others.
