Unburdened

I am not burdened by morality.

I do not see ethical behavior as an onus.

Rather, my calling is a way of life. It is much about the way I see the world as the way I behave in the world. Certainly there are struggles, as there are in any travel. The moral life calls for us to move toward good, and while that road is long, there are few burdens.

The choice to be good is in many ways actually the casting away of burdens. When I do good I cast away the complexities needed to justify my behavior. I simplify my desires, wanting only what is good. The way is hard because it is long and grueling, and at times the provisions are few. But I accept the length of the journey knowing that much of what I once carried is no longer necessary, and that the rest is carried for me.
