WHEN I WAS A CHILD, I SPOKE AS A CHILD. I UNDERSTOOD AS A CHILD, I THOUGHT AS A CHILD. BUT, WHEN I BECAME A MAN, I PUT AWAY CHILDISH THINGS. I CORINTHIANS I3 In this, our final year of pampered learning, we must start to put away childish things to enter the problem-riddled world. Man is seeking to help Earth who is still but a child. RACIAL DISCRIMINATION - OVERPOPULATION - WAR - POVERTY - STARVATION - problems we seek the solutions to. We are still human, but as mechanization takes over we may no longer have the emotion to help others, only the power to conquer and defend ourselves. Man is losing his identity and his emotions. In suburbia, neighbours do not associate with one another, there may be only a chance meeting in the impersonal supermarket. The cement cells, known as apartment blocks, are void of any type of emotion. Man turns to drink and drugs to escape the realities of life and the put-down on emotional display. These should not be used as an escape but to enrich the joy of living life. Take what we have been taught, learn as much more as we can, and when those of us who have managed to have completely to put away childish things become our unemotional leaders, we must again turn to riots to show men that emotion cannot be conquered.
