WITH MALICE TOWARD NONE . . ' . . . and charity for all,', are the truly great words of Abraham Lincoln orated in his second inaugural address. He pursued life in accordance J! with the spirit of this noble phrase and presided over the United States with the hope and determination of achiev- ing unity and peace through the understanding of man. One of man's most unique characteristics is the ability to understand man and his mo- tives, but first, it is essential that he know himself. He must not begin to rationalize and attempt to secure justification for humanity's actions and yet, he must not discrimi- nate - he must understand. Condemning a person for his appearance, nationality or race is unjust. Man must not convict on first impressions nor must he detect evil before good. He must search for man's goodness, discard the negative approach - he must understand. Abraham Lincoln's success, respect and admiration were a result of his intense concern and understanding of human behavior. He proved that opposites can attract, that man can exist in harmony - not amid segregation. The road to understanding has been paved by a great leaderg unfor- tunately, through the years, man has encountered many bumps and forks which have retarded his journey. But, the road continues to exist and if man is able to overcome these hindering obstacles, he will approach a world of peace and harmony through human understanding. DIANE 'TURNER Sam-Xie S-
