Human Life
It takes more than the tyranny and duplicity of the right
or the pusillanimous behavior and siren songs of moral
relativism of the left to make human life work, simple,
messy and at times, altogether imperfect it may be.
It consists not of vacuous administrative structure where
its success depends upon the failure of others as it so
often does and its object is measured ephemerally only in
terms of riches. (It is ever so in the affairs of men
that the putative masters of wealth and of status are
accorded far greater deference and respect than the
nobilities of character and of deeds). Least and last
of all, is it a strident encomium of war through vitriolic
undertones of patriotism and polarization where deceit,
destruction and death are glorified as societal goods. Life
is and should always be a renewal movement built upon the
dignity of the human being -- a living hope directed by
discipline and by virtue. It, therefore, takes time,
energy and it takes courage. Still more, it requires
character and a manifestation of moral truth. This
then is the true business of the world in which we
live. Even the American regime is capable of grasping
its universality and being grasped by
it.
