Life Values

I say what I do and I do what I say.

We pay attention to credibility, honesty, transparency and reliability. I say what I do and do what I say. I am authentic and refrain from tactical intrigues. I can stand by what I stand for. That creates trust in the long term.

I am responsible for what I do. I look out for my fellow man.

Responsibility shows itself in dealing with myself, my fellow human beings and my descendants, and with natural resources. Creation as a totality of people, animals, plants and the environment is a good entrusted to me. Whoever sees himself as a steward is accountable to the principal. Therefore, I can stand up for my actions.

I know my limits and show consideration for others.

Self-restraint means being able to renounce, to share one's own power and to be considerate of others. I know my limits, reconcile myself with them and am aware of my fallibility. I know that I depend on my fellow human beings and on their complement.

I appreciate every person with their strengths and weaknesses.

Appreciation means accepting every human being in his or her individuality. For me, the dignity of a person is not dependent on his or her performance, position or origin. Charity and humanity follow from this.

I stand up for the rights of my fellow human beings.

Justice has a universal perspective and applies equally to all people. Justice requires that I work unselfishly for the right of my fellow man. This includes the protection of life and limb, health and freedom in the sense of human rights. Without a social and economic balance and the sustainable use of the earth, there is no justice.

I make the concerns of others my concerns.

Solidarity is focused on the common good. As a person in solidarity, I also support those who do not belong to my own person. I am therefore prepared to put up with my fellow human beings with their idiosyncrasies and to share in their burden. For this I need tolerance and the readiness to renounce. I do not have to have everything, and not everything immediately.

I preserve the environment for generations to come.

Sustainability requires rules and orders that are also sustainable in the future. My goal is not short-term profit, but long-term benefit, not material profit, but comprehensive well-being for future generations as well.

I know what I want. I work towards it.

Goal orientation helps to persevere even in the face of external resistance. When I know my goals, I gain an inner strength that is not dependent on the favor of the moment. However, I pursue my goal carefully and with a sense of proportion.

I seek reconciliation with God, with myself, with my fellow human beings.

Peace unites reconciliation in all areas of life: with oneself, with God, with all creatures. For this, I must be able to address conflicts, admit my own mistakes and forgive the other person.
