,-'ifazdaaq A PHILOSOPHY FOR TODAY By Kenneth Shine We stand at the cross roads of destiny. We gaze at the world around us and tremble with the weight of our responsibilities. The phenomenal advances of our age have led us to this place. Which way shall we go? Since the beginning of the twentieth century, man has progressed farther than our most optimistic dreamers could ever have conceived. In a period of fifty years, half a century, only a small fragment of the entire history of the world, we have seen the dream of flight come true. Radio spans the oceans. We have made pictures which talk and brought the miracle of television into our homes. Most signifi- cant, however, our scientists have stumbled on to the secrets of the atom, an infinitesimal, indivisible par- ticle which no man can ever see. Now we dream of a hydrogen bomb. Such is the progress of time. Yet our gains have also had their more horrible repercussions. We have used that airplane to carry destruction in two World W'ars. The radio has be- come a tool for the spread of what is known as propaganda . The atom bomb has opened infinite possiblities for evil as well as for good, more than any weapon ever created by man. That our discoveries have produced no golden age, not even a peaceful one, can prove the significance of a great essential truth. Man is not an entity unto himself. His body, his mind, the world around him, are all only products of a supreme power. The dis- covery of the atom can only strengthen this truth. Then what is amiss? Have we forsaken God that evils have befallen us? I think not. On this side of the iron curtain our problem is more difficult than that. We do acknowledge God every Sunday, but we lose sight of certain fundamental teachings during the rest of the week. In an age of speed and confusion ta, 9 .... :Q -5 .A-,'ff'Tt 13 eff' 'I J A is -1.5 il ss is if S' GTX ' ' -9 4' x . 'lx C55 s ...ff lwntii- ' we forget many lessons. We do not realize that man's greatest happiness comes from giving to his fellow man -not simply in the field of contribution to science and industry but in contributions to everyday living Incessantly we take from the wonders of nature, from our natural resources, and from our fellow man. We teach our children that success is measured by a college degree, a successful position, or a substantial income, but we forget that the true barometer of success can be measured in the happiness of those around us. Our happiness comes from being able to live with ourselves. Life is short. What is the value of existence if we do not contribute spiritually and physically to others? This is the only key to success. Material gains cannot earn for us a moment more of life. Gifts to others can make us live forever. To speed when there is no policeman on the high- way, to fail to pay our taxes because we have inHu- ential friends, is foolish. If we are not to allow our own creations to become Frankensteins which will destroy us, we must revise our sense of values. The road we travel, when we admire successful frauds, is dangerous. Greed can lead only to destruc- tion. Such was the fate of a mightly Roman Empire in ancient times and an imperialistic England today. If the world endures in the future, it can only be on one account. The smile of a friend, the laughter of a child must be our greatest rewards. We must learn to take our rewards from the gifts we bestow on others. This is a philosophy for today-and the todays which will come tomorrow. We stand at the cross roads of destiny. The world waits as we turn from the teachings of God to the evils of greed. Which way shall we go?
