What does it mean to live a moral life? Bernie raises that question frequently. It's clearly a question that concerns him – and not in the showy, insincere, egocentric way that we so often see when this topic is raised. A lot of politicians cloak themselves in the trappings of religion, posing as righteous if not outright bible-thumping, trying to ride the holy train for all it's worth, but we rarely get a glimpse at the inner life of someone who doesn't seek to hide behind religion for the sake of convenience, self-interest and political expedience.

When religion or related subjects come up on the campaign trail, the candidates trot out their schtick – except for Bernie. He does what he always does: instead of ducking or posing, he turns the discussion toward something more meaningful. He cuts right to what's important about morality – how we treat each other.

It's as simple as do unto others...

For all our incessant bloviation about religion, spirituality or morality, we treat each other horribly. And that, as Bernie and any number of notable heavyweights have told us, is what's important. How we treat each other. And that's something we can choose. We can choose to act as if we love ourselves and each other. We could, simply by making a different choice, live in a society that treats all of it's members with respect and dignity. We can afford to do that in a most beautiful manner if we could only get our priorities straight.

People around the world deserve to live in peace and to belong to a society that cares about and values them. We need to quit being an abusive family and start being a loving one. We all deserve to live peacefully and with liberty and justice. We all deserve a just and moral society – and that's a far cry from what we have.
