Whatever your cause, if one can inspire others to greatness and beauty, victory will be yours.
I have been following several stories in the news lately. These stories deal with a group which is using the courts to stop any religious symbols or displays on public property. This group has been winning their cases for the most part in the courts, but one must wonder, what are they really accomplishing?
One particular story deals with a case in Montana where this group wants to remove a monument which was built to honor WWII veterans. Their problem with the monument is that there is a Christian cross in it. Apparently this offends their sensibilities. I could rant about the pettiness of their case but that is for another entry. What I would like to point out today is the fact that one cannot gain friends by tearing down that which is dear to those whom you are trying to win.
I believe that everyone who puts forth the effort to spread their message should have the right to do so. I also know that she who inspires best will gain more converts to her cause than one who kicks and screams foul at every turn. So just remember that when opposition to your cause tries to put you down, just be inspiring and they won't stand a chance.
