IN 1909 the city of Tel Aviv was founded. In 1951 the Stone of Scone, the stone upon which Scottish monarchs were traditionally crowned, was found on the site of the altar of Arbroath Abbey -- it had been taken by Scottish nationalist students from its place in Westminster Abbey. In 1963 Pope John XXIII issued Pacem in terris, the first encyclical addressed to all instead of to Catholics alone. In 1968 President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1968, prohibiting discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of housing. In 1970 Apollo 13 was launched. In 1976 the Apple I was created.
Quote of the day:
"Virtue means doing the right thing, in relation to the right person, at the right time, to the right extent, in the right manner, and for the right purpose. Thus, to give money away is quite a simple task, but for the act to be virtuous, the donor must give to the right person, for the right purpose, in the right amount, in the right manner, and at the right time."
~ Aristotle
Are you virtuous? Will you do the right thing at the right time for the right person, without regard to how it will impact you personally and/or financially? While the knee jerk reply is to claim virtue, it is a high standard to live up to, especially when the choice that you make will not be known to anyone unless you say something. Maybe the lesson to take away is not to be so judgmental when others fail to meet high standards, understanding full well that you yourself are flawed…..
