Among the pearls of wisdom conveyed in Ecclesiastes is that everything has its time.
“A time to be born … a time to die, a time to plant … a time to uproot, a time for war … a time for peace.”
The founders of the United States drew up a Constitution to serve as an operating manual, in its checks and balances, for peaceful, deliberative government. They understood human nature and set up a system in which competing interests would have to give in. Compromise, they understood, is a necessary lubricant for the wheels of government “of the people, by the people, and for the people” to turn and allow us to move forward.
