Imagine the America you want to live in #4

Date: August 10, 2003 | 11 Jumada al-Akhir 1424 Hijriah
Subjects: dialogue
This week's question is:

Name three values that are cornerstones of your own life.

Post a comment and share your thoughts. Don't forget to read the ground rules for discussion! Please treat others with respect.

The basic rules I ask everyone to agree to follow are:

1) Listen with curiousity and respect.
2) Seek to understand others rather than to persuade them.
3) Offer what you can and ask if you need anything.
4) Speak honestly, but briefly so that others feel free to contribute
and be heard.

The basic principles of this dialogue are:

1) We need to get to know each other if we are to make America a better
place.
2) We can disagree on issues and still share common values.
3) Diverse experiences, opinions, and ideas create stronger dialogues.
4) Our lives and our future depend on human goodness.

This is a question that it may be hard to answer the way it's written; it may be difficult to list exactly three. Feel free to post and share whatever you feel is important.

For me, three important principles or values are:

1) To leave the world better than I found it
2) By working together, we can accomplish more than any of us could alone
3) Trying one's best to do right will always be rewarded, if not in this world then in the next

Obviously this is not in any way a comprehensive list. However, I hope it's enough to get our dialogue started, inshallah.

My three, all equal in importance:

1. Truth

2. Justice

3. Peace

All my work, activism, passion, and energy are directed toward these values.

It's surprisingly hard to list three specific values, but after some thought I'd say they are:

Liberty Integrity Loyalty

my values are all of equal importance to me:
-freedom to think and believe whatever I please
-respect of all creatures great and small, everything can feel
-do not assume something about another and do not judge others

In the context of what I work to see manifested in America, my values are:

1. to refuse to be overwhelmed by power and money, and trust in the power of the people
2. to strive for peace with justice
3. for all life to have equal value
