Necessary................................

 These stories [mostly culled from Matthew and Luke] portray the existential dilemma that eternally characterizes human life:  it is necessary to conform, to be disciplined, and to follow the rules—to do humbly what others do;  but it is also necessary to use judgment, vision, and the truth that guides conscience to tell what is right, when the rules suggest otherwise.  It is the ability to manage this combination that truly characterizes the fully developed personality: the true hero.
