Values and commitment

Developing, questioning and reassessing one's values, and one's commitment to those values, is necessary and fundamental to high functioning as a person and citizen.
Bewilderment and doubt as to how to express and fulfill one's commitment to one's values is normal.  Clarity comes and goes - and comes again.
Distraction from expressing and fulfilling one's commitment to one's values is also normal - and in my case frequent.
Surrendering to bewilderment, doubt or distraction - giving up the commitment to expressing and fulfilling one's values or, worse, the hope behind that commitment - is tragic.
