What do you believe?
Howard Marcus is nervous. After seeing the movie “Everything, Everywhere, All the Time” Howard is left wondering if there is a connection between all people. And if many of the people seem to be acting out of fear, desperation and false motives what can we do? Some even do things up to and including outright evil and criminal actions. So how should we live if we are all somehow connected to each other?

The pledge of Allegiance
“I pledge allegiance,
To the flag
Of the United States of America
And to the republic
For which it stands
One nation
Under God
Indivisible
With liberty
And justice for all”
Howard suggests A different kind of pledge
I want to become a better person
For the whole world around me
For every family member
For every friend and neighbor
For every stranger, traveler, and foreigner
I seek to be more than I have been
As I focus and calm myself
I will share with all people,
The fruits of my life
My skills, talents, and knowledge
My patience, concern, and unconditional acceptance
I will let go of any hate I have
I will cultivate kindness, forgiveness, and love
And seek to live at peace with all people.

Example: The liberty and freedom enjoyed by people do not give them the right to infringe upon the liberty and rights of others.
