Albert Einstein defined an ethic as “an enabling, unified understanding.” Without an ethic there is no community, so ethics become what you need to have a community.

But wait, are there inadequate, or dysfunctional communities? Or again, communities that enable diversity and spontaneity of expression? Some have ‘low synergy’, others have ‘high synergy’. Where does synergy and the intimacy of community come from? (Do we even have a global ethic?)

An ethic happens among people, created by them, as they engage each other in dialogue. Instead of an ethic being imposed, an ethic is composed out of each person’s destiny with others. Our shared destiny is to liberate wisdom and beauty (as a way to a higher humanity). Amor sui, amor dei, amor fati is the cry for community — love yourself, love God, love destiny! MORE
