Democracy is also strengthened by the way we conduct ourselves in public life on a daily basis: through a willingness to listen, by choosing our words carefully, through the patient search for common ground, and through the ability to recognize those who think differently as fellow citizens with whom we share a common destiny. In this way, trust is built, allowing a society to address its differences without losing sight of what binds it together.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those who exercise authority also have a duty to act prudently, to recognize the limits of the power entrusted to them, and to direct their decisions toward the good of the entire community.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am thinking in particular of families who bear the burden of uncertainty, of those seeking work, of the elderly who have contributed for years to building society, and of those who, even while working, struggle to meet their households\u2019 needs. The economy must be at the service of the person, not the person at the service of the economy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
That prospect raises another question: What role do those who have not yet been born play in our decisions? Before we ask ourselves what kind of world we will leave them, we must recognize their dignity.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
