Subjective Morality Is the Woke Banner of Freedom

As a preamble to this article, I am increasingly dismayed by what I see as the ever-deepening gulf in the civil dialog that highlights the political partition in the United States.

My formal education and practical application of that education tends to center on the motivations, both good and bad, behind civil discourse’s emergence from the colonial days to the present. I am drawn to the “why” behind people’s predispositions to action. To this end, I center on the spiritual impact put into action by Biblical characters and those in the present course of American civil life. While I seek neither a preachy nor condescending dialogue, I approach thought as the expression of attitudes of the heart as opposed to the attitudes of the soul – which I believe are constantly at odds with a person’s public persona.
