The Four-Way Test is a Mirror, not a Window

Use the Four-Way Test to look into ourselves in considering ramification of a thought, statement, or action.  It should not be a window through which we look to judge others.  It is a mirror at which we look to judge ourselves. 

We need to teach The Four-Way Test to all of our friends. We don’t need to preach it. Rotary takes pride that it is a non-political, non-religious organization. That has allowed us to make inroads in parts of the world where governments and religious organizations can’t. Let’s not sully Rotary’s reputation by using these 24 words of ethical and moral thought to tear each other down.
