Show EDITORIAL Enstein's 'Man of Good Will' ". . . the man of good will is never happier than when some communal enterprise is afoot and is launched . . . with the single object of life and culture. Nothing truly valuable can be achieved except by the unselfish cooperation coopera-tion of many individuals." Einstein. TN ALL of Albert Einstein's scientific utterances, there is A nothing more truthful or significant than the one quoted above, which is more in the realm of human relations than it is scientific. It is simple, it has probably been said before in other ways by other men, but it is still true, and therefore deserves careful consideration from all citizens. Every person should note, for instance, that the elusive thing called happiness is one of the fruits of "communal enterprise,'1 which is designed to promote life and culture. If we look at our fellow men who are anxiously engaged in a good cause we will find that they are happy because they know they are working for a good purpose. And note that Einstein is unequivocal in his belief that "nothng truly valuable can be achieved" without the unstinted un-stinted support of many individuals. The progress and peace of the world depend solely on the ability of the people to live and work together harmoniously. AJ1 the congresses, United Nations meetings and diplomatc activities ac-tivities of all nations will never bring about harmony if people in neighborhoods and communities have not learned to get along with one another. There are many worthwhile projects in our community which will never succeed without the support of many people of good will. The question of the welfare of the world will be decided by what we do here in our own community. |
