Many thanks for inviting me to share a reflection with you today. As you gather here from time to time, to discern, debate and find solutions to the countless issues of our time. Permit me to share with you a principle of engagement which recommends, as its maxim, doing good better. This principle makes clear that merely doing good is no longer enough, we should always aim at doing good better. I used to ground this principle on the three metaphors which Jesus used to refer to those called to be gatekeepers of the community that the evangelist Matthew addressed in Matthew chapter 5 verses 13 to 16, and I put, you are the salt of the earth, you are the light of the world, and you are that city built on the hilltop that cannot be hidden. Permit me to use these metaphors to address you, parliamentarians, since for me you too are the gatekeepers of our society. You are the salt of the earth, you are the light of the world, and you are that city built on a hilltop. Essentially salt purifies, seasons and preserves to enhance the tastes of precious valuables and to preserve humanly flourishing values for generations on bond. Equally, light was the first thing that God created and separated it from darkness. In darkness we stumble and fall, but in light we see our parts clearly. The hope is that gatekeepers of our society will continue to bear the light, doing good better in reducing poverty, unemployment and homelessness here at home, and tyranny and oppression abroad. These shortcomings remind us that whenever there is a want of right leadership, people suffer. Finally, honourable members, you are that city on the hilltop of life and in full view of public eyes, and so from that hilltop let your light and your humanly flourishing values continue to shine forth. I'll close this reflection by invoking a Swedish diplomat by name Dag Hammerscote. Dag served as the second secretary general of the United Nations from 1953 to 1961. He once said, the longest journey is the journey in words. This man, Dag, travelled worldwide, but did not reach his journey's end. In his inward exploration, he said that the journey inward is a never-ending journey. This view for me typifies the mission of each member of this honourable chamber as you seek to grapple with the ever-changing, multi-faceted and complex issues of our post-modern society. Thank you.
