Episode 332 - YOUR OWN LAWS
In this episode of "The Thick and Mystic Moment," host Robert John Hadfield dives into a classic scene from Top Gun that pits Maverick against Iceman in the iconic locker room confrontation. Through a discussion of their rivalry, Hadfield draws out a timeless conflict between order and chaos. He explores the cultural fascination with the "maverick" archetype and its modern equivalents, like Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, while acknowledging the value of rules and universal principles in maintaining safety and order.
Hadfield weaves in an anecdote about being pulled over late one night and reflects on how rules, even in seemingly empty spaces, establish a sense of trust and predictability. This leads him to introduce an article by Sir Gladwin Jebb, first acting secretary-general of the UN, called "Make Your Own Laws." Hadfield elaborates on Jebb's idea that while individuals should create their own guiding principles, these principles must be grounded in universal truths guided by "great masters."
Using practical Christian tenets like "Love your neighbor as yourself" and "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," Hadfield shows how we can adapt broad concepts into actionable, personal "laws." By adopting specific guidelines like "Seek first to understand" or "Assume positive intent," we can translate these universal values into daily habits.
Ultimately, Hadfield emphasizes the importance of crafting and keeping self-made laws to better align our actions with larger principles, offering a powerful reminder about commitment: to follow through even when we no longer feel like it. This episode is a thought-provoking exploration of the delicate balance between individualism and the greater good, packed with insights that can help us navigate our personal paths.
