REFLECTIONS At the beginning, there was the Word. The Word, soft and melodious, sang into space and created the light. The light, beaming gloriously, shines upon a prism, there to be imprisoned and converted to soft yellow greens or shocking, bleeding reds. We are prisms. We talk, we act, we live and die, reflecting that heavenly light-glowing within us, and it is the intensity of our lives that deter- mines the colors of our rainbow. It is up to us to interpret the Divine message! To place on our young shoulders the most significant and heaviest load that can be offered,-the future of humanity! To slowly move up to the front lines and take the controls of our families, our society, our country-our world! To be responsible, through our knowledge, experience and strength, to guide our descendants and deliver them safely. This, if not the most responsible task, is certainly the most noble: for what nobler act could we do than to make this cynical world a Utopia, where truly all men are equal, all men can laugh freely, and all members of mankind can love one another! The world, society, and perhaps even our families, are found today under a strong decaying process-decadent and corruptive. On one side, men go to wars and slaughter one another, like savage beasts, without even knowing their opponents: they bomb innocent families, permit degradation and inhumanity to grow, for their own comfort and benefit. On the other hand, the movements to stop this insanity, behave iust as demented by falling into the same inhuman abyss. They search for something better-if that's what they truly want-with fires, lootings, riots, rocks, and heckling, never stopping to realize that fire is not fought with gasoline, that hatred is fought with love, war with peace, and lunacy with rationality. These two confronting sides are iust as blasphemous and culpable under God's eyes, who teaches us peace and love! The life ofa prism is to reflect the light and so too, should our lives. We should be the instrument through which God walks on earth, the light upon the stone. It is up to us to keep ever present in mind Martin Luther King, Robert Ken- nedy, Mahatma Gandhi and all the great men before us: not to forget what they stood for: what God stands for! lt is up to us to remember the Divine teachings! 'DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOUl' 'WE ARE ALL SONS OF GOD: THEREFORE EQUAL UNDER HIS EYESI' It is up to us, as both hope and future, to keep ourselves above the crowd, closer to our destiny, not to putrify in the spider's web. To realize that we have at our disposal, the master key that could open the door to heaven, to a paradise on earth. We have the power to make men free, to turn enemies into friends, war into peace, hatred into love, slums into resorts! We possess this key, iust as the ones before us had it. Let us, therefore, not follow in their footsteps but let us transform, like the worthy prism, and light our own paths, roads, highways and let them all lead to love, humanity and peace.
