"Let Us Help To Heal The World"

WE NEED CHANGE

I know it's not that easy to change the world & it seems that we are now facing a fact that our society is near to be considered as a hopeless case but there is not impossible with a willing heart.We can start the change within ourselves .

Make your lives worth living for...don't just eat & live to survive give your life a cost.

Wherever You Stand, Make It Camp David

"The only way we can make peace is for each of us to be the peace we wnt to see." -- Susan Collin Mar
It's up to us. We can't wait for someone more powerful or wiser to deliver peace. We are the wise and powerful ones who choose peace in every thought and action.

King showed us that even the simplest acts tilt the world toward peace. When his house was burned during the civil rights movement, he raced home not knowing if his wife and young daughter were safe. And he knew whatever he did could affect the anger brewing in the country. He stepped onto his porch and said, "Remember, this is what God said, 'We are not advocating violence. We want to love our enemies. I want you to love your enemies. Be good to them. Love them and let them know you love them.'"

Global peace is a personal choice, hour by hour. Ask yourself, "Am I going to add to the fighting in the world? Or offer up something greater?"

Nurture Peace in Yourself

"The first step is to come home to ourselves. You don't need to become a Buddha. You need to become yourself." -- Thich Nhat Hanh

It's hard to stay peaceful if we're overwhelmed by life. Find some peace, calm, and stability in your inner world so you can be kinder in your outer world. Do whatever soothes you, daily. Spend time in nature, meditate, sing, dance, play, chill on the couch. Do yoga, read by the fire, eat good chocolate while watching an entire sunset. Disconnect from conflict and just breathe for a while. Center yourself and tap into the peace you already carry within.

Heal a Piece of Your Anger

"Peace is as much about getting the bombs out of our own hearts as out of the Pentagon budget." -- Colman McCarthy

It's normal to get angry. But as peacemakers, our challenge is to channel that frustration into something greater. Think of your anger as rocket fuel that can launch your dreams--not scald people around you. View it as a surge of energy to create what you really want and need. Practice breathing deeply, disarming yourself and asking, "Why am I so angry? What do I really want?"

If we can transform our anger into a higher dream, as King did, we take a stand for peace. We step away from the vise of anger and step into the lives we really want.

Focus on the Positive

"Plant yourself in the middle of what you love most--the thing within you that is most alive." -- Yael Lachman

Others may want to waste their precious time focusing on the perceived ugliness in the world. Be the one who focuses on the positive, and watch the magic happen. Our thoughts are powerful. What we pay attention to expands. Attract peace with your thoughts. Notice peaceful people and places, tune out violence.

And remember that more people are at peace than at war all across the earth. This is the story we need to focus on, broadcast, and amplify. The world is evolving and becoming a brighter place.

Creatively Resolve One Conflict

"Conflicts are a call to creative problem-solving." -- Louise Diamond

Whether you're hosting a family gathering or conferencing with your staff, conflict will pop up as surely as that annoying neighbor who wants you to vote like him. Intensity will always percolate in any community. Conflicts can't be avoided. But we can learn to navigate them more confidently and use the tension as an opportunity to express our views honestly and peacefully.

The next time conflict surfaces, keep breathing, stay calm, thoughtfully speak your truth, listen to others, and try to find some shared ground. Realize that your frustration may be about the situation, not the person. Set the intention to find a resolution. Try to find the humor. Agree to disagree, if necessary.

Be the Bridge

"Out beyond the ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field. I'll meet you there." -- Rumi

When do you demonize and fear people you don't even know? When you have incorrect perceptions of others, it's easier to fear, even hate them. Get to know the genuine in others. Meet people of other cultures, religions, and backgrounds. Find shared experiences, hopes, and beliefs. Connect on that holy ground, and peace will flow out from those moments.

Practice Self-Responsibility

"We want to put an end to wars without giving up our violent intentions and violent relationships," -- Arun Gandhi

Wars break out over our evening meals--or in the world--when we try to control someone else. Accept that everyone holds a piece of the truth, Arun Gandhi says. Accept that you're only responsible for your own values, beliefs, and choices.

Forgive One Person

"Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies." -- Nelson Mandela

This month, try to release one individual--it could be yourself--from your anger and judgment. If you can't change what happened, then change your thoughts about it. Let it go. Forgiveness isn't about forgetting, it's about being at peace in your own skin. It's about getting on with your life, says Arun Gandhi, who forgave the man who killed his grandfather. "Being obsessed with anger only destroys us."

Believe in Peace

"Dream. Dream. Dream. Be idealistic. Dream the world can be a better place." -- Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Believe that peace can happen anytime, anyplace. Love the idea of living in harmony more than the idea of living in chaos. Spend time each day visualizing how your own life will be different when peace grows in all your relationships. Imagine your community cooperative and thriving. Imagine our country no longer warring with others. See our homes bathed in peace and prosperity. Feel the joy of that! Believe that a peaceful world is our destiny.

Serve a Piece of the World

"Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve." -- Martin Luther King, Jr.

The world is asking for your light. Find a way to give back and make a difference. Help someone else. You and I make all the difference in whether the world grows more chaotic or more peaceful. "You don't need a college degree to serve. You don't have to know Einstein's theory of relativity to serve," King said. "You don't have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love."

Serve the world with your peaceful heart, with your peaceful soul. Make it big. Make it so.

The 7 Stages

Follow "The Healer's Way" to recover from physical or emotional injury.

I have used this line for decades: "When talking of human well-being all there is is love and love denied." It seems to me that all the emphasis on work in the world, without the balance of genuine love, leaves us deformed as hell.

Without love, a person can become a magnificent work machine but have no kind of a life. On the other hand, a person whose solid foundation has been built by love automatically works to contribute to the fabric of society.This is what brings us to the Hoop, my friend.

Our topic is healing. The need for healing is created from the wound of love denied.Study the Hoop I'm about to describe. See if it makes sense to you. Test it out on your own experience, the ultimate yardstick. Once you begin to recognize this process, this Hoop, you will find that you can jump in at any point and still not be lost.

Any slice of life, any experience you encounter or come to recognize in yourself, will fit along one of the strands of this Hoop. Sit with it reverently, and it will tell you its secret.

1. Get Started

The most basic human need always takes priority. Our most basic need is for love and belonging, and healing is always about finding, or rediscovering, that central core, that island buried deep within all of us that is most of who we are. In terms of well-being, all there is is love and love denied.

2. Get Lost

If the need to love and be loved is not adequately met, the individual can't develop. That's the essential meaning of the word "lost." Lost means not knowing where you are or where you are headed. Lost means sitting alone in the dark because there isn't a scrap of light anywhere to follow.

3. Get Hurt

Once we get lost, we get hurt. We desperately try to cope, to cover up, each of us according to our different personalities. But in spite of that they are all just sticks thrown into the River, the restlessly ongoing effort to be found and so to find or rediscover what we were all made for.

4. Get Stuck

Follow the Hoop and see what happens next: we get stuck. Stuck means "can't move". The dynamics of stuck invade our innermost parts and become familiar. Whether it's being abused in a relationship, dying around food in one way or another, filling our bodies with drugs, shutting down all feelings, surrendering to violent rage, or isolating or hiding. These behaviors become our pimps, so to speak, and we jump when they beckon.

5. Get Called

How can there be healing if there is not first a call, an invitation to break through all the emotional and intellectual concrete holding us stuck in some dreary expression of diminished life? Any knock that invites us to move deeper into our humanity comes from the hand of God. The knock has a thousand different faces and forms, yet the invitation is the same. Once the call is heard, it is time to get up!

6. Get Up

To "get up" means just that: you make a start. Getting up doesn't mean all of a sudden you turn into a world-class sprinter. It just means that you are standing up, like a tender blade of new grass, reaching for the sun. After the call, there is a getting up, but no one ever gets up alone. There is surely a part of this process that no one can do but us but the problem of love hunger simply can't be addressed alone.

7. Get Going

Once we finally get up, once we see the wound and the systems that keep the wound active, the next step is to get going and keep going. By getting going, I mean just that: get moving and don't stop. That's the trick-keeping it up. An occasional companion on my morning walks says, "It's all practice. Simple as that. We are what we practice. You want to change something, practice it until you are there."

"Miracles that brings happiness to our lives"

Angel of Miracles

This Angel wants us to know that Miracles are only a thought and an open heart away. Angels know that there is no shortage of miracles, they are available to anyone who is willing to receive them! This Angel comes to remind us that Miracles are part of our everyday lives and they come in all sizes, shapes and packages. While there is never a shortage of miracles, our ability to see them may become clouded as we move through our day to day lives. This happens when we are focused on all the things that we think are "wrong" or difficult in our lives instead of looking to see what is positive and good. When we focus on what we don't like, we effectively close the door to experiencing the ever abundant and present miracles that this Angel is seeking to bring our way.

Many years ago I read a wonderful affirmation: Expect a Miracle. It made me stop and think, how often do most of us expect miracles to occur? When was the last time you asked for a miracle in your own life? This Angel has come to you to say it is time to begin asking now! Miracles are easy for the Universe to give us because they are composed of Love and come from Spirit whose love for us knows no bounds or limitations. Spirit created the Angelic realms to remind each of us that we are never alone, help is always available and that miracles can flow in abundance if we are open to receiving them. Many times I have heard people say that they are afraid to ask for a miracle for what if they are not worthy and the miracle they are asking for does not appear? This Angel says we are all worthy of receiving as many miracles as we can think to ask for, that our prayers and requests for miracles are always heard and responded to!
Sometimes the miracles do not come packaged as we might expect. There are many reasons for this as this Angel says that we so often ask for a miracle, then feel at some level we are not worthy of having it and so we "downsize it" to something we think we can have though not always consciously. We may for example ask for a shiny, new red car that runs well to get us to and from work and around on our errands during the day. What we would really like this new car to be is a sporty model and yet feeling greedy or selfish for being so specific and wanting such a thing, another part of ourselves kicks in to say " oh, honestly any old red car will do!" so that is what we are able to receive and not the new sporty model we may have had our hearts set on. Or perhaps another person asks for the miracle of having a physical healing occur and then at some level feels guilty for asking for such a miracle because they did not eat properly in the past, or they drank alcohol or they allowed themselves to get very stressed and pushed their bodies far harder than they ought to have. So the person ends up being able to accept only part of the miracle if at all. We humans are very good at judging ourselves and others so we do not fully understand that the Angels never judge us, they never point a blaming or shaming finger at us and say how dare you ask for this or that! They love us unconditionally, they know that we have yet to remember who we truly are and along the way they are here for us to help us move past our "mistakes" as well as to celebrate our awakenings as we move through our lives. There is nothing that we can ask for that the Angels would say "shame on you!" Instead they greet our requests with joy for they want us to be happy! Think of the movie "Michael", one I loved for many years now. Michael knew that life was meant to be joyful and fun and pleasurable and that his seeking those things in life brought great joy to others as well.


Sometimes miracles come in forms that lead us to yet another miracle. We may have asked for something and yet this Angel knowing that we were not quite ready to fully accept what we had asked for, sent us a miracle of a different sort that would help us move closer to being able to accepting what we really desire. Sometimes that even means it appears our requests for a miracle are not being answered to push us into seeking help for a problem or lead us into reading a book or listening to an audio tape that has information we are really needing to hear. Not receiving quite yet the miracle we had asked for is unto itself a miracle as well or can be if we are willing to look at how we might be blocking this Angel's assistance and love. Had we received the miracle we originally asked for, it would not have brought us everything we had hoped unless we had cleared some other things out of the way first. Then we can more easily embrace and enjoy what we have asked for. Or it may be that not getting what we want immediately, we can then be pushed through some doors we may not have considered before that will bring us far more than we had ever dreamed! For example, the person whose current career is ending may ask for the miracle of having that career continue only to find that it does indeed come to an end. Yet they may also find that there is an even better career just waiting in the wings if they are willing to open their heart and see what is beckoning them at this point in time. This Angel knows and understands that this can be a very frightening process and it can be hard to trust and have faith! Yet if you will look and listen carefully, you will hear this Angel's voice speaking to you, telling you that you are not alone in what ever you are facing, to give this Angel your hand and allow yourself to be led into a life of endless miracles and joy!

This Angel may have come to you today in response to your own request for a miracle or to remind you that you need to ask for one! Is there something in your life right now that you want to see impacted by the energy of miracles? Right it down, what ever it might be and at the top put the words "I expect a miracle now". Carry this with you as you go about your day to day activities or place it where you can see it often. You may want to visualize this Angel sending love and light to your request or see it being gathered up in Angelic hands. The important thing is to remind yourself frequently that this loving Angel is drawing to you all the elements of your requested miracle and all you need do is open your heart to receive it!

What to watch for with this Angel's presence:

You may begin to become more aware of the small daily miracles that occur all around you. As you feel joy and gratitude for these miracles this attracts even greater miracles to you.

You may hear of miracles occurring to all sorts of people, or the word miracle will keep popping up repeatedly and in unexpected places and ways. Things will suddenly begin to sort themselves out all around you or you will get some wonderful news that will help validate the reality of miracles for you!

You may begin to feel a strong, uplifting presence that makes you feel that anything is possible! Plug into this feeling as strongly as you can, see how long you can sustain it. Ask this Angel to help you feel this energy more and more each day and watch as the miracles begin to unfold in your own life.

One way of working with this Angel is to list all the things that spring to mind when you think of the word Miracles. Leave nothing out and do not censor any of it! You may find yourself writing down things such as " miracles happen to others but never to me!" This Angel is trying to make you more aware of your deeper thoughts around miracles so you can clear any that may be blocking your acceptance of them. Once you have made your list, make a second list of all the thoughts that are inhibiting your ability to accept more miracles in your life, ask that this Angel please take them away from you and replace it with good thoughts and feelings. Then place the list in an envelope addressed to "The Angel of Miracles" and place it in a basket or even burn it if that is what you feel guided to do. If you use the basket method, take the list out after 30 days has passed and see if those same thoughts still resonate for you or not! If not, Hooray! Dispose of the list in what ever way you feel appropriate! If they do, then you know you just need a little more time working with this Angel so place the list back in the basket for another 7 days and repeat this same process for as long as you need to. You will start to see results as you work with this Angel, asking for guidance, support, cleansing and healing all the while. Be sure to take any actions on these things as you feel guided to and know that this Angel is always there for you!

Meditation for a Happy New You

Meditation TranscriptTake a few deep breaths and allow your body to take in all the air that it needs. Imagine your entire body softening.
Begin by thanking the divine for all the gifts in your life right now. Appreciating where we have been is a magical key to moving forward. Every situation and relationship from your past has taught you something useful, and has made you who you are today.
Now notice those things that have outlived their usefulness. What keeps you stuck? What stops you from living your deepest dreams? Recognize the obstacles to achieving the changes that you choose for your life. Begin to make mental notes of all of those things that you are ready to release.
Where are you still holding resentment toward another? Towards yourself?
Let all your fears, worries, doubts, disappointments, and anger surface in your mind... envision them as a muddy stream which flows out of you as you breathe. See yourself releasing old hurts, sadness, imbalance, and injustice in your life from the past and present. Feel them dissolving, pouring out of your body.
Just let them go. Release all the "should haves," "could haves," "if onlys." There are many layers to let go of, so for now, let go of those things that you are able to. Just let them go.
Now see what items, relationships or situations you have outgrown or that need to shift in some way. Take the time to express gratitude for the lessons learned, and then visualize them gently leaving or changing to promote your new reality.
As you free yourself from the past you open up space for fresh, honest relationships and exciting new opportunities to come into your life.
As the old energy flows out, experience a new lightness, feel a new power and vitality entering into your mind and body opening up space for compassion, for forgiveness, for health, for prosperity and success. Invite in those people who are able to respect and honor your growth and change.
Dwell in this new space for a short time, opening your heart and expressing gratitude for the opportunity to grow and move forward. Honor and acknowledge yourself for the courage to clear house and let go.
Now imagine that you can breathe in the qualities that you need for this new part of your life. Breathe in courage to be true to yourself. Just breathe it in. Breathe in patience, discipline, spontaneity, anything that you feel would assist you in this new beginning. See yourself as strong and positive.
In your minds eye, picture what you would like to receive in your life and imagine yourself easily receiving these gifts. Feel yourself radiating with positive energy as you attract new people, ideas and situations.
See yourself joyful and content with this new reality.
Slowly begin to deepen your breaths. Gently move your fingers and toes. Gently begin to turn your head from side to side. Keeping your eyes closed, take three final deep breaths. When you are ready, you may open yours eyes. Many blessings for a "Happy New You!"

Four Creative Steps To Healing

Ever have the feeling that dis-ease was controlling your life? Perhaps it's not even a chronic illness. Do you harbor anger? Resentment? Frustration? Maybe it's just me and I'm talking to myself, but I've let all of these rule my life at some point. Therefore, in this short article, I thought we'd take a look at "Four Creative Steps To Healing." From it, I hope you'll gain insight into yourself, your behaviors and perhaps the way you deposit or withdraw from your own health currency.

Step One: Understand Your EnergyWe've all heard about the aura that surrounds the body, but what could this possibly have to do with our health? According to Carolyn Myss in her audio program "Why People Don't Heal," the energetic exchange that happens within this field is where our thoughts become translated into energy (or what she terms as one's biography becoming their biology). Translation: These cycles or waves of energy that surround our body are a function of our thoughts. Thoughts are energy waves then, that affect our health in a positive or negative way. Let's look a little closer to see why this happens:The contributors to this energy surrounding the body are the 7 major "chakras" (chakra in Sanskrit means "wheel or vortex"). It may help to note that Myss refers to each energy wheel as a "computer," one which collects and interprets information and “perceptions” the mind has about the world. It has been shown scientifically that each of these 7 wheels of energy corresponds to a particular endocrine gland in the body. Translation: In light of the adage, "you are what you eat" we could conclude with with some degree of certainty that "you are what you think."

Step Two: Let Go Of Old WoundsNow that you've been (hopefully) examining your thoughts and translating all of your negative energy into positive, Myss throws another curve ball. Would you agree with her that "healing is unattractive?" I needed some time to think about this: Why in the world would healing be unattractive? Answer (According to Myss): Our wounds give us power! And after careful contemplation, I've outlined three ways I have done this, myself.Ask yourself: Are you leading with your wounds? You'll know if you done any of the following:1. Used Wounds to Manipulate a Situation or a Person. Let's say we find a situation unsavory, scary or inflaming a personal "hot button." Have you ever avoided a situation when you really needed to face head on? Or, how 'bout this one: "I just can't get into this relationship - I've been burned before!" Okay, maybe I am just speaking to myself here, but I admit, I've used my wounds (more times than I care to admit) to refrain from loving unconditionally. 2. Use Them to Attract Other Wounded Souls Who Want to Exchange in the “Wound” Game.I’ve done this myself, too. In listening to another share their wounds, I’ve given up compassion for wound ante – “Ill see you and raise you one.” Agreed, there is a difference between healing from a wound and “leading with a wound" but, in my humble opinion, I'd be willing to bet that we know the difference between being healthy and not. For example, I know when I’m healthy when I can listen with empathy, void of getting out my toolbox to “fix" or laying out my wounds unsolicited.3. Give Up Our Ability to Listen. Dr. Bernie Siegel in his book "Peace, Love and Healing" basically says, listening is the work of angels. Many times listening is all we have in a situation when someone calls on us for help. If we express what Ms. Myss calls "woundology" or "leading with our wounds" we're saying that we can’t stand the loss of power and desire all the attention for ourself. Since I'm laying out all my laundry here today (And what would Myss have to say for this?) here’s an example of the way I’ve led with my wounds: Recently someone confided in me about a situation where they had lost a loved one. While listening attentively, my mind searched its experiences for a similar event. All this so I could say: “Oh that’s terrible! Don’t feel so bad though, because I’ve been through this thing that is so much worse!"To reclaim my character, however, (and after I realized what was happening), I caught myself. In reality, all this person really needed was my ear to listen unconditionally.

Step Three: Learn To Forgive Yourself and OthersThe final two steps are remedies which can help heal our anger, resentment and frustration. Step three then, is simply forgiveness. For to forgive in earnest then takes our energy out of its emotional investment in the past. We give up the need to spend wasted energy making negative deposits into this account and to paraphrase Myss, is the fastest way to bring our energy into real time. Translation: Trust me, you'll know authentic forgiveness when you experience it. The body literally “lets go” of the weight of the past.

Step Four: Love YourselfThe final creative step to healing? Loving yourself, of course! This is the most challenging concept, in my opinion. Why? To begin we must start where we are, and love and accept ourselves for who we are, today. How does this help our health? It's simple, when we realize that we are stunting our personal growth and health through negative self talk, we can then begin to love ourselves one piece at a time.Here’s how it’s done (Author's note: beware, this practice may seem untraditional yet, if you'll consult Louise L. Hay's book: "You Can Heal Your Life" - you'll find that this is one of the remedies she used to heal herself from cancer):Every day spend 15 minutes in the mirror sending love to yourself! Start small by finding one part of yourself where you can find perfection. Each day, or week, or month choose new parts of yourself to love. Before long, you'll find an image of perfection before your eyes. And you'll have purified your energy, to boot! In closing, we could make all of these steps very simple, indeed. For there is only one step here that will make you healthy and happy. Remember: It's when we've learned to love ourselves that we can truly be healed.

Wisdom is our gift , need to be nurtured

The Moral Superiority of Wisdom Over Knowledge

Traditional thought has mostly agreed upon the meanings of the words

"knowledge" and "wisdom".

Nevertheless, the difference between the two is sometimes not immediately evident, especially to one not versed in the history of thought on the subject. In this paper, I will examine the differences between knowledge and wisdom, particularly those related to moral worth, and present an argument for the moral superiority of wisdom over knowledge.

Before proceeding, it is necessary to have an understanding of what these two words mean. Knowledge shall be assumed to be remembrance and understanding of facts. Wisdom shall be assumed to be an understanding of the proper action to take in a given situation. More detail will be added to these definitions later, but they are sufficient for a basic understanding.Armed with these definitions, we proceed to our primary question: which of these two is greater? It is, as I have already stated, my contention that wisdom is the greater of the two. My argument in support of this conclusion is as follows:

Wisdom is morally good

Knowledge is morally neutral

The good is morally superior to the neutral----
Therefore, wisdom is morally superior to knowledge Premise 3 seems self-evident, and the argument is logically valid, so the remainder of this paper will focus on the logical defense of premises 1 and 2.The first question, then, is what is it that makes wisdom a moral good. I assert that goodness is inherent in the definition of wisdom, and that wisdom is therefore good independently of any specific moral theory. In support of this premise, I shall first give examples from four ancient authorities on the subject of wisdom. These are, in roughly chronological order, the Hebrew Bible, Confucius, Socrates and the New Testament.The Hebrew Bible contains the oft-quoted phrase "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom"[1]. The Hebrew word "fear" is often used for to mean "respect", and the context of this verse - a psalm of praise - makes it clear that this is the proper meaning here. Hence the implication is that there is no wisdom apart from a respect for God.The Confucian Analects paint a slightly different picture of wisdom: "to give one's self earnestly to the duties due to men and, while respecting spiritual beings, to keep aloof from them, may be called wisdom"[2]. The theme of respect for spiritual beings recurs here, but the taboo on involvement with them is clearly not what the psalmist had in mind. Additionally, Confucius explicitly includes action in his definition of wisdom, whereas this is only implied by the psalmist. It seems that the wise man knows his place in the world, and does not overestimate his greatness or importance. Socrates's interaction with wisdom is well known, but I will recount it here for the sake of completeness. Socrates was informed by the Delphian Oracle relatively early in his life that there was not a man on earth wiser than he. Socrates was incredulous, because he believed quite firmly that he was without knowledge. Indeed, Socrates continued to believe throughout his life that knowledge was a significant part of wisdom, but he determined that one specific piece of knowledge was more important to wisdom than the others - knowledge of just how little one knows. Socrates searched the world for a man wiser than he, but every time he found a man who ought to know something, he discovered that that man overestimated his own knowledge, and thus eventually came to believe that the Oracle had intended to send a message to the world: the wisest among us is the one who understands just how little he knows.Paul the Apostle agreed. He wrote, "if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know"[3].To bring together these diverse sources, the common belief of ancient thinkers on this subject is that wisdom is to understand one's station and act accordingly. If we extricate the issue of the nature of wisdom from specific moral theories, we can come to the conclusion that wisdom is two things: a specialized type of knowledge, and a related type of action. In light of this, I would adjust our original definition of wisdom to read as follows: wisdom consists of the ability to know and the will to take the action which is morally best in any situation. Clearly, if wisdom is by definition a thorough knowledge of morality, accompanied by action, then it is a moral good.It remains, then, to defend premise 2. This, I think, is fairly easily done. Knowledge is a tool. It may be used for either good or evil. As evidence of its usefulness for good, take the fact that our definition of wisdom, which has already been shown to be a moral good, includes a specific variety of knowledge. As evidence of its usefulness for evil, take for example the skilled oration of Adolph Hitler. The man knew and understood the history of the German people. He quoted from revered historical leaders of the region, such as Martin Luther. Adolph Hitler, who has in our day become the nearly uncontested example of evil at work in our world, was a man of great knowledge, and that knowledge was of much use to him in achieving his ends, which included a great many horrible moral evils. If knowledge is equally useful to practitioners of both good and evil, then it stands to reason that it is a morally neutral tool.In conclusion, this paper has shown that wisdom is a moral good and that knowledge is morally neutral. From these premises, it takes only one assumption, that the good is morally superior to the neutral, to reach the conclusion that wisdom is superior to knowledge. This principle has, I think, been shown conclusively to be true.
