The vast majority of us believe there is some higher unseen order of things, that there is a God, but we would be hard pressed to define it. I think most would agree that profits, love, and God are all important concepts, yet none of three has a generally accepted definition. And for most of us, the meanings are not so different as to create inevitable confusion or conflict. So let's find ways to work in harmony as we pursue the common purpose of building a more sustainable society. I think we should pursue sustainability by reflecting at least one definition of one dimension of sustainability, love, in the way we communicate with each another.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
The sustainability movement is gaining in visibility and credibility day by day. Many who are just now becoming interested in the concept are still forming their understanding of what it means to them. Their most important initial impressions of sustainability likely will be made by the words and actions of those of us who choose to be associated with the cause. We all fall short from time to time, no matter how hard we try. But, we can at least try.
