Mr. Rand Lennox's 12-29-23
letter, 'The Common Good,' wherein he emphasized all 10 Commandments fitting
on a business card to the multitude of books explaining them, re-booted a
memory from long ago.
Reflecting on math class at the long since closed, St.
Hyacinth School, 'fractions' taught us the importance of determining the
lowest common denominator on the way to a solution.
Fast forward more than a
few decades. While pondering the ruination of such a beautiful planet, caused
mainly by greed and the dismissal of decency and laws, I hurriedly typed, in
jest, 'If I ruled the world, I'd proclaim The 10 Commandments to result in a
common denominator of: Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.'
Allow your minds to dwell on each of the 10 and you'll hopefully see the
commonality!
Fast forward a few more decades where we are today. My mind
hasn't changed any, except for that 'rule the world' thought. So, do we make
ours a better world or do we continue the path of greed, leading to our
prolonged or instant annihilation?
Seems elementary to me.
