We have not kept our word.
There are agreements in every relationship.
Sometimes they are clearly stated and many
Times they are not.
By me having a permit to use the roads in our
Town I am agreeing to follow the rules of the
Road….yet how often do I forget as I speed to
Work trying to make up time for a late start.
We go to schools at different stages in our lives
To learn first the basic rules of communicating,
(reading, writing and speaking) then we learn the
Rules of fair trading and calculating (adding, etc)
I will never forget my early years in arithmetic.
When I could not get the concepts, my teacher used
The words TAKE AWAY to help me understand
The minus sign….which brings me to freedoms.
We often forget that the freedoms we enjoy
In our communities are based on our
Agreement to follow the rules.
Sports can be a good metaphor or picture
Of life in general. Whenever there is a rule
Broken there is a penalty.
Rules are broken sometimes without intention.
At other times there is full intention. Whatever
The reason the penalty is due.
Our society is set up so that
We often loose our freedom as a penalty
For breaking a rule. Breaking the rule is
Really not sticking to the agreement.
WE DID NOT KEEP OUR WORD.
So….what's the big deal?
Well, why didn't I keep my end of the bargain?
Why didn't I keep my word?
