Righteous People

When we have anything to say about righteous people, usually we get around to admitting that they try harder than any of the others to achieve happiness, and the first step toward happiness is learning to hold all things in proportion. The laws of nature have established that all things must be kept in proper proportion to be most effective. Nature has provided us with eyes to see, but too much light dazzles our sight and we’re blinded.

Nature has given us ears to hear, but too much sound destroys that hearing and we become deaf. Nature gave man a nose with which to smell, but too much of one odor destroys that sense and we cannot distinguish other odors. To gain effective use of our senses all of them must be kept in proper proportion.

So it is that with religion too that each life needs the proper proportion; too much leads to fanaticism and too little is equally bad. Religion doesn’t necessarily keep a person from doing wrong; it just makes him uncomfortable while he’s doing it. That’s why religion should be a significant part of our personal lives. Men of the cloth bear the shoulders on which the rest of us weep; when people are burdened with sorrow, they turn to those shoulders for comfort.

Neither a starry-eyed reformer nor a bigot from the Rible belt can tell you what the exact proportion is, but Old Aunt Mehitabel used a pretty good yardstick when she said, “I ain’t what I ought to be, I ain’t what I’m gonna be, but I’m better than I was!”
