RETRACE YOUR STEPSWe speak of a new world. In the realm of moral philosophy we are thinking of a new people, not a different people, but of all humanity emerging from the despair of war to the bright hope of peace. We mean a people who will be new, not because they are moving at the remarkable speed of science, but new because they will be more determined to take a stronger grip on the beautiful and wholesome things of life, new because they will understand as never before that we build in vain unless we build character. Change is not always advancement, and that which we think of as new is not a future condition. The new that we seek is something that was ours, something of the past. It is a gem of thought, a treasure of philosophy, a song that mother sang, and act of a friend; it is the wonderful courage of a great religious leader who gave the world a beauty that must be rediscovered. The path to the new brave world is not a direct untrodden journey. We must retrace our steps to find that Spiritual Beauty which for the time is lost. The emotions wander aimlessly about because desire for Spiritual Enlightenment has disappeared and there are no designs upon the trestle board. Adventure into the new and unknown are not more courageous than the search for the better self over travelled paths. Thus we retrace our steps. There is little hope for reward. Weary and worn we fall. Yet even as we fall we hold within our grasp- Immortality. |
