Quote by John Shelton Reed
There's an ethic that says: 'You don't run off to the church for the sacraments of salvation, you establish a personal relationship with God. You don't run off to the courts for justice, you settle it yourself. You don't run off to labor unions to sort out your work relations, you can take this job and shove it if you don't like what you're doing.'
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of personal accountability and self-reliance. It suggests that instead of relying on external institutions or authorities, individuals should establish a direct connection with God, handle their own conflicts, and have the freedom to leave undesirable work situations. It promotes the idea that independence and autonomy are key aspects of personal growth and decision-making.
