An interesting observation by this columnist on differences between the "Left" and the "Right." He says the Left focuses more on making society better, while the Right focuses more on making people better.
"Because Judeo-Christian values have always understood that the world is made better by making people better. On occasion, of course, a great moral cause must be joined. For example, it was religious Christians who led the fight to abolish slavery in Europe and America. But in general, the way to a better society is through the laborious and completely non-glamorous project of making each person more honest, more courageous, more decent, more likely to commit to another person in marriage, more likely to devote more time to raising children, and so on."
If that is true, then is there any more important work than spiritual growth and character formation?
