Fulfillment ... Meaning A , . . opportunity Back in the beginning God declared that it isn't good for man to be alone. Like God Himself, Who is Three, man is only truly himself, is only completed and fulfilled in community. In the same way that we receive physical life in the form of food, on a deeper level we receive emotional, mental, and spiritual life from sources outside of ourselves. A song popular in the forties illustrated this with the lyrics: lf no one shares and no one cares, where's the fun of a job well done or a prize you've won? Joy and meaning come to us primarily in human form. Gathering people together in one place does not guarantee zommunity. Community involves a type of personal honesty and reciprocal sharing both materially and spiritually - that is downright risky in many ways. But the rule seems to be that we have to give before we can receive: we must exhale what we have before we can inhale that which gives us purpose and fulfillment. Mercer University in Atlanta is more than a place and more than an institution. Mercer University in Atlanta is an opportunity to give life and to receive life from one another. f' c 'fe lla . if ' ' , E ,- ,..-1 li, 5, , w.. .,,r 84 Q 1 . X Q Y - 1
