Themost important thing in life is the way it is lived, and there is no such thingas an abstract happiness, an abstract goodness or morality, or an abstractanything, except in terms of the person who believes and who acts. There isonly the sigle human being who lives and who, through every moment of his ownpersonal living experience, is being happy or unhappy, noble or base, wise orunwise, or simply existing.

The question is: how can these individual moments of human experience be filledwith the richness of a philosophy which can sustain the individual in his ownlife? Unless we give part of ourselves away, unless we can live with otherpeople and understand them and help them, we are missing the most essentialpart of our own human lives. The fact that the native endowment of the youngmind is one of the liberalism and confidence in the powers of man for good isthe basis of my philosophy. And if only man can be given a free chance to usehis powers, this philosophy will result in a boundless flow of vital energy anda willingness to try new things, combined with a faith in the future.
