Bicycle Accidents: How a Lawyer Can Help You Seek Justice and Compensation

3 weeks ago | forthepeople.com | John Morgan

Bicycle accidents, like car accidents, can cause severe impacts and result in serious injuries, expensive medical bills, lost wages, and emotional distress.

On Thursday I will hang a flag with one symbol — a giant sunflower — outside my house to celebrate the start of spring and hopefully peace in Ukraine.

2 months ago | readingeagle.com | John Morgan

It’s important these days to remember the power of gratitude for everyday living. It’s a positive motive for living a life that matters. Gratitude comes for many things, from fighting fires to proving care to those in need. But in the corners of our lives that don’t make nightly newscasts or daily newspaper headlines, people go about helping others.
Everyday ethics: The power of lessons from childhood

Jan 15, 2025 | dailylocal.com | John Morgan

The older I get, the more I realize the great and awesome power our early childhood experiences have over us, for good or ill. Moral theorists who study how children learn ethics point out that they evolve from obeying rules to internalizing their own, but mostly learn ethical behavior by imitating significant adults in their lives, especially parents.

Everyday ethics: Three books that make a difference

Dec 3, 2024 | readingeagle.com | John Morgan

I decided to give myself a holiday gift this season. Instead of frantically searching for gifts for others, I asked myself what books had made a difference in my life, and then I ordered them and promised to read them this month. I decided to refute Mark Twain’s comment that a classic is a book everyone wants to read but no one ever reads. The books I chose were classics in shaping how best to live, and I vowed to read them again. I read a great deal.
