very true. This is God's world. No one man can rule it. Only failure and destruction will follow anyone who tries to rule it by force. The idea of Equality won't come in a day. But we CAN start each in his own small way, and some future generation will accomplish what we begin. ALL men are entitled to a job where they can earn a decent living; food, clothing, shelter and education are the right of every man. The Lord tells us to love our enemies. But the Children of Israel were His chosen race, yet He made them wander in the wilderness for forty years after they had been in Egypt before he would let them enter Canaan. Because he wanted a tried people. Then what should be done to the Japanese and Germans? The part where you tell of the commencement of your plan to build a perfect world within you recalls that for some years I have been thinking along the same line of thought. I didn't use the same words as you, but essentially and basically the ideas were the same. I approached the first step with the thought: There is a law of just compensation. The good I do as well as the evil will someday be returned to me in full measure. No effort is really lost. You use "good" and "best" where I would say "beautiful". Perhaps because as a child I was afraid of people but I have always loved the outdoors. And Nature is still my best friend. Mother always taught me it was the little humdrum things we have to do every day that make life pleasant or unpleasant as we learn to enjoy them or to hate them. Doing dishes and ironing had always been the two most boring household tasks for me until i learned to do my story-plotting while I worked. Some of what I consider my best stories and poems were born, you might say, in the dishpan. In this day and age I don't think many of us could be successful hermits. I don't even want to try. I am just beginning to learn about people, and it is the most wonderful experience I have ever made. Even when it backfired on me it is still fun! I'm glad you said "as a man thinketh, so is he". My fiance and I have proved it. He went into the army in May, 1942, but we know he is coming home safely, and we never let ourselves believe otherwise. I still haven't seem him in uniform, because in less than three months he was in England. He landed in France in mid June last year. In the two and a half years he has been gone he has been through bombings, worked out in the open in all kinds of weather, built roads and air fields under fire and has not received a scratch. We know he'll be home some time -- the only unanswered question is WHEN? If this war has taught us nothing else, we will all have learned that even the smallest event at the most distant part of the earth effects us all, both as a nation and individually. It thus behooves us to be ever mindful of our brother's welfare, to remember that all men ARE brothers. Regarding maxims, I think that sooner or later we all accept 18
