The
most important thing in life is the way it is lived, and there is no such thing
as an abstract happiness, an abstract goodness or morality, or an abstract
anything, except in terms of the person who believes and who acts. There is
only the sigle human being who lives and who, through every moment of his own
personal living experience, is being happy or unhappy, noble or base, wise or
unwise, or simply existing
The
question is: how can these individual moments of human experience be filled
with the richness of a philosophy which can sustain the individual in his own
life? Unless we give part of ourselves away, unless we can live with other
people and understand them and help them, we are missing the most essential
part of our own human lives. The fact that the native endowment of the young
mind is one of the liberalism and confidence in the powers of man for good is
the basis of my philosophy. And if only man can be given a free chance to use
his powers, this philosophy will result in a boundless flow of vital energy and
a willingness to try new things, combined with a faith in the future.
