INDIVIDUAL AUTONOMY
How can we shape character such that it is an honest reflection of individual autonomy and good as a contribution to a whole? How can we align character of intention with character of action and value of others?
How do we handle character? Do we treat it separately from good or bad action? Should we treat it separately? How do we empower and feed character guided by ethics and story? We can do so such that guided ethics lives and breathes in decisions during ease and challenge.
We need to move out as a collective and leverage value of others as peers. We can reflect themes of care for ourselves and others by exercising the cycle of enriching practitioners with philosophical theory, thinking, promoting introspection, thereby re-defining our practice in presence.
A foundation in theory and discourse makes way for an enduring commitment. Just as an honor code serves as representation of commitment, reflection and inquiry represent theoretical enrichment and an enduring moral force - a moral to the story.
Culture: it begins and ends here. What is the story? We are sound in our focus on it as an agent of now and what is to be.
What is the moral of a story? What are the stories you are told? What are the stories you choose to read and listen to? To share?
We can circumvent a surfacing tide of instability by embracing individual autonomy as part of a collective good, nurtured and founded in value and respect. Not anonymity, but individual ownership of our stories.
We can evolve as a collection of symphonic advisors, planners, theorists and peers; each individual directed by the empathetic and compassionate good within as a reflection of a greater force - a greater moral force. We can take action consistent in an endeavor for critical, creative and ethical reasoning, as building blocks for limitless humanity.
