Practical Philosophy

To be human is to choose —
and to take responsibility for what is Good.

This is a place for reflection.
Here I reflect on life as it is lived.

Not to give answers,
but to remain on the path.

The Latest Practical Philosophy Essay: An Unloved Child















No child should have to earn love.

No child should have to prove that they have a right to belong. 

And, no child should have to go to bed at night wondering whether they are still loved.

We often speak of love as a feeling.

But, Love is something the child must experience.

It must be present in the voice that answers.

In the hand that holds. 

In the look that says: I see you.

In the meal placed on the table. 

In the adult who returns after a conflict and says: What happened was not good, but you are still my child. 

You still belong here.
