Commonplace Quote

I see thee glittering from afar -- 
And then thou art a pretty star; 
Not quite so fair as many are 
In heaven above thee! 
Yet like a star, with glittering crest, 
Self-poised in air thou seem'st to rest; -- 
May peace come never to his nest, 
Who shall reprove thee!

~ To The Same Flower, William Wordsworth

“The problem is that many people treat morality as a list of rules. But in reality, every moral system rests on a worldview. In every decision we make, we are not just deciding what we want to do. We are expressing our view of the purpose of human life. In the words of theologian Stanley Hauerwas, a moral act “cannot be seen as just an isolated act, but involves fundamental options about the nature and significance of life itself.”
