Choosing Our Rudder

We all seek meaning and worth in our lives. To attain these goals we must rely on our motivations as our rudder to guide our actions. These motivations that we choose to be our rudder are what determine both our success in achieving our goals and the type of person we become. If our motivations are ordered, we will lead lives of sanity and structure while those choosing chaotic roots lead lives of discord and lacking harmony. If we choose to root ourselves from honest motivations we lead lives filled with truth and meaning, but choose falsehood and live a life of lies, treachery, and fraud. Anchor yourself in courage and lead a life of honor and valor, anchor yourself in cowardice and your life is filled with weakness and fear. Derive your motivations from love and lead a life filled with devotion and loyalty, choose hatred and live a life that is spiteful and steeped in loathing.
The real question is finding a root essence on which to anchor our lives. Where preferably all of us, hopefully at least most of us, would choose paths of order over chaos, truth over falsehood, courage over cowardice, and love over hatred; is there a single rooting that leads to simplify these choices? Fortunately there is a rooting that once chosen simplifies our lives and leads to the desired worthy life. Choose to follow the Virtues and your life will be filled with the Principles, the Principles of Love, Truth, and Courage. It was believed by Lord British that leading such a life would further lead to a life of order. Thusly, Virtue gives us the strength of the Principles, and the Principles lead to a life of order and inner calm. Further, a society of people rooted in Virtue is a stronger society, one of harmony, peace, strength, caring, affection, and goodness. This is the society Lord British wished for his people, and it is the society of which I wish for us to be a part. A society of mutual support, reciprocated love, communal respect, shared responsibility, cooperative efforts, and inclusive acceptance. A community of oneness with the Virtues.
