The great 20th century American legal scholar, Justice Learned Hand, once wrote:
The spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which seeks to understand the minds of other men and women; the spirit of liberty is the spirit which weighs their interests alongside its own without bias.
May it be the will of our Creator that the spirit of liberty take root in our hearts, and guide our actions and our worlds. Amen.
