My religion and the articles of my country challenge one to nobility. By that I mean that we are to respect others, live by the Golden rule, feel in many ways equal, yet in many ways special, and are called to be leaders in the sense that we are to embody integrity about our beliefs and opinions and daily meet the challenge to be good citizens while faithfully witnessing for Christ in our daily lives. This call to excellence and leadership yet to simplicity and equality maps core nobility and represents the creative genius of my faith and of my country. Though we number in the many millions, we know instinctively that to think of ourselves as powerless, faceless victims tossed in the wind signals the approach of mediocrity, chronic unhappiness, and eventual mass dissipation.
