Ok, this is the third time I've tried to post this!
~To the world, I promise temperance, insight and courage~
We should set an example of restraint and acceptance to those around us. Truly think about things that are offered to us and to the things going on around us. Offer that insight and have the courage to share it. Stand for what you believe in, even if it isn't popular. Be reasonable and try to stay calm in the presence of others.
~to crusade for justice, seek the truth, and defend it always~
Always seek out what is true and just. Find what you believe in and fight for that. Seek what is moral and try to live that. Too often we roll over and let things happen when we know that they are not right. Be willing to change that. Defend your opinion and what you know in your heart is true.
~to those who my life may touch in slight measure, may I give graciously of what is mine~
I think this is my favorite part. This is something I try to live every day. Regardless of who it is, if you somehow cross paths, then try to give them something, even if it's your smile. Help out someone needy, send a card to someone who is down, send a card to anyone just let them know how much they mean to you, live this part through philanthropy.
Those are some of my thoughts.....
