There are many kinds of stories we can experience and tell for ourselves, including pure and virtuous stories from our past. As American school children in the 1950s, our stories include accounts of public school teachers in 48 states allowing classroom prayer to our God, and allowing us to pledge our allegiance to a flag representing one nation under God.
In our true stories from that time, we acknowledge we were taught at home, at school, and in Sabbath Worship services to believe and trust in God, in His Law, in His Light, in His Word, in His Language, and in His Charitable Love. Outwardly, our coins, license plates, and National Anthem said we did. Inwardly, we rejoiced whenever we saw truth and virtue being championed in our TV programs, comic books, and movies.
Our true stories still remind us that it was generally thru virtuous attendance at Sabbath Worship services, and thru virtuous social censorship of evil media, and thru the virtuous parental nurturing, protection and training still found in heaven-blessed American homes, that most of us came to know for ourselves that:
● Good stories have good endings and produce good fruits within us.
● Better stories have better endings and produce better fruits within us.
● Best stories have the best endings and produce the best fruits within us.
Our true stories still evidence the absolute truth that inasmuch as we keep God's commandments we shall prosper in this Land (see, 2 Nephi 1:20; 2 Nephi 4:4; Jarom 1:9; Mosiah 1:7; Mosiah 2:22; Alma 36:1; Alma 37:13; Alma 38:1; Alma 48:15; and 4 Nephi 1:7).
Looking forward, perhaps the highest standard of culture America has to share is how well we trust, practice and personify the pure and virtuous principles which God has given to us as a people and as a nation.
Remember, every eDictionary definition preceded by a 2 is a virtue which may be identified, selected and trusted as a pure and virtuous principle.
So, here and now you might ask yourself:
What is a vicious problem we are facing as a nation?
For now, let's say you select the vicious problem of:
>>> JUDICIAL ACTIVISM. (as in justices or judges who willfully exceed their Constitutional authority while in office, or who accept bribes for political gain, or who viciously legislate from the bench, or who viciously issue counter-executive orders contrary to the voice of “We The People” and so on).
Then you ask yourself and others:
Which set of pure and virtuous principles must form our best virtuous solution to that corrupt and vicious problem? Which ones are true and cherished parts of my story, or my family's story, or my nation's story?
Then you read the following offer:
To The Voting Citizens of America, we offer the following exemplary aids to help you formulate your best virtuous solution(s) to the vicious problem of judicial activism:
● LAW: The Constitution of the United States. As an aid to help you formulate your best virtuous solution to the vicious problem of judicial activism, the pure and virtuous principles within our Constitution should not be overlooked. For example,
Article. I. Section. 1. begins with the sentence, "All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States” (emphasis added).
Article. III. Section. 1. declares, “The judicial Power of the United States shall be vested in one supreme Court” and in duly established “inferior Courts” of Judges each of whom may remain in Office only "during good Behaviour" (emphasis added).
● LIGHT: The Allegory of the Boundary Line (Click on golden apple below for free access.)
As a further aid to help you formulate your best virtuous solution to the problem, we offer "The Allegory of the Boundary Line." This story should help identify that set of pure and virtuous principles which point to the best virtuous solution(s) to the vicious problem of judicial activism.
In a number of ways, this story might well bless every voter in the land, every advocate who argues for or against a law, every legislator responsible for enacting law, every executive responsible for enforcing the law, and for every justice and judge who seeks to render only pure and virtuous judgment and to remain in Office "during good Behaviour."
● WORD: Holy Scripture (ancient and modern). "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it" (Isaiah 55:11). Here, you search for that related set of pure and virtuous principles which teach us how to prayerfully evoke and wield the power of God's Word against corrupt and vicious principles such as judicial activism.
● LANGUAGE: The eDictionary of Human Character (See at “Bookstore” at this website.)
Here, you search for that relevant set of pure and virtuous principles which Americans must understand, do, be and teach well enough to powerfully rise in unison above corrupt and vicious judicial activism and its consequent darkness, vice, corruption, bondage, despair, turmoil and misery.
● CHARITABLE LOVE: The eDictionary of Human Character (Supra).
Christlike Charity is the purest and the most powerful principle of human character. As a final aid to help you formulate your best virtuous solution to just about every vicious problem, we offer 10 definitions of the word “charitable” in each one of our dictionaries. Definitions should be read and studied from 10 upwards to number 1 (best).
