TOPICS OF THE DAY
Sense of Direction “Everywhere, because there is no sense of road, nor law, nor human family, we each try to secure the best for ourselves and for our class, we produce dictators who demand this or that for their country, careless of all the world. In the social realm, poverty, hunger, and unemployment are world-wide conditions in a world of plenty. They are there because we have no clear laws for a mutual progress, but are ruled by the appetites and fears of children. The cause for this subjectivity is that our foundations and securities have gone. Many of us do not climb on rock but wallow in bogs of sensation and unanalysed emotion. We dash at increasing speeds with no sense of direction. Very, very rarely in the streets is there a tranquil face; generally the faces are vacant or harassed. Some spend more time in making up their eyebrows than in making up their minds.”— The Rev. McEwan Lawson in “Release.”
