Today we begin the Lenten period, 40 days and 40 nights of which we are supposed to deprive ourselves of something we enjoy.
Many of us will give up chocolate, cigarettes or some other pleasurable thing for the 40 days - not me. My thoughts of Lent is that it is a period of time to become a better individual, to embrace and exude the principles of my religion. To do unto others as I would have unto me. To live by the Golden Rule.
Is that not a better way to embody Lent and what this period of time means?
