Freedom Keeps Working

We should not lose or give up on the freedom and rights we have gained in the workplace and the world. Going back to old ways and perspectives and continuing with the same old thing will not do any good, there is no justification for it. We must believe that what has been achieved is good and make its power felt. External forms are one thing, interiority is also important. Helping others materially makes everything clean, but if interiorally you are full of 'extortion and wickedness', cleaning the 'outside' will do no good. Externally, giving alms is better. Righteousness, 'dikaiosune', looks to faith for the hoped for rewards. Older practices and customs may have worked once, progress continues, so ossification should not be allowed to set in. The principle works through fidelity and maintaining good working relationships. A lot of people like the old ways they are used to and resist change. We may therefore meet with controversies along the way, both internal and external, but development will continue. Almsgiving was an alien concept to many people in ancient times. It is an opportunity for a few to show the true value of riches. The rich of the world should be liberal and generous in the interests of justice and charity. They should use their superfluities to relieve the poor. No one is entitled to manage their wealth purely for themselves. They must have the common good at heart. Skillful managers can share wealth with others. Property ultimately belongs to everyone.
