"Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor." ~ Romans 12: 9
We hear it all the time. Someone thanks a person for helping them. The helper bats their hand dismissively at the comment, and, with a look pride, gives it the ol', "Ah, it was the least I could do."
The least I could do? What kind of a standard is that? It's same as saying, "I knew you needed help, and I gave you the bare minimum."
Shouldn't the standard be, the most we could do? Shouldn't that be the standard by which we conduct ourselves?

This blog began as a writing and literature blog with the occasional Op-Ed piece on current events & issues. The political writing has, slowly but surely, taken this blog over. Readers will still be treated to some of my thoughts on pop culture and sports, but, for the most part, Blogito Ergo Sum will feature my opinions on the state of our union and world.
