Bruce Whealton: Existential Writing

I have to act on my morals and beliefs. It’s one thing to have morals and a internal guide that tells what is right and what is not right. It is different to act on those morals. For me, as a Christian, this is also a reflection of what I am driven to do as a Christian! Moveon.org is just one organization that works for the rights and welfare of all people, for the value of life itself. To value life itself is to fight for the elimination of poverty… to demand a living wage for all, not our immoral minimum wage that exploits hard working people… and access to health care for all! These are my moral values as a Christian. I hope I can make a difference.

I am part of a group in my Church and have felt inspired to do things that involve giving and acting to help others and putting our teaching, our beliefs, our morals into action.

This is what I wrote for my about statement as to why I was joining Moveon.org:”I am a business owner of Future Wave Designs, a NC Web Design and Web Development company, located in Carrboro. I also work a second job to make ends meet when work is slow in web design and development. I have a background in social work. I want to get involved in doing things that make a difference in my community. I feel that I have a moral obligation to work for a more just and fair society that cares about the people, all people, especially the most vulnerable. This is a part of who I am, my values and beliefs.”
