Non-coercion isn't some vague, idealistic principle with little real world value. It is the essence of peaceful co-existence with every person with whom we disagree. If you force me to do something that I know in my heart to be wrong, you have given me the (im)moral authority to do to you what you believe to be wrong. The world is round. Be careful what you roll.

~ It's An Appalling World Afterall
The world as it has been held out for us to admire and believe in is not the world as it really is. Even less does it reflect absolute Reality. To accept it as true is to assume we will be expertly guided by a fun house mirror viewed through a kaleidoscope.
~ I Hope You Don't Get the Joke
Orthodox Christianity has it backwards, it seems. The words of Jesus weren't true because He spoke them. He spoke them because they were Truth.
~ Immune to Reason
Our interactions with the world exist within a vast Hall of Mirrors, which infinite reflections mask the original image to all but the most discerning.
~ If I'm So Bright, How Come I Don't Shine More?
Have no concern searching for what you "should" be doing. Instead, do with intention and skill that which is clearly placed before you in your life. That is what you should be doing at this moment.
