Higher Ground [View all]

“I count no sacrifice too great for seeing God face to face. The whole of my activity, whether it be called social, political, humanitarian, or ethical, is directed to that end. And as I know that God is found more often in the lowliest of his creatures than in the high and mighty, I am struggling to reach the status of these. I cannot do so without their service. Hence my passion for the service of the suppressed classes. And as I cannot render this service without entering politics, I find myself in them.” – Mohandas K. Gandhi

The way to bring a society to higher ground is to help those just underneath you. It is not to worship the status of the opulently wealthy, hoping somehow you might reach their status. All of the enlightened teachers from various times and places taught this truth.

When the republicans moved to cut food benefits from those in the margins, citizens stocked food banks and gathered supplies for those in need. That was a powerful step in the correct direction. Concentrate your efforts in that manner.

When we do this, we create the powerful force needed to crush the maga in 2026.
