the most important thing for us is using our lives in the right way, having the right purpose and serving that purpose effectively. We need to see ourselves, set in a larger context. We need to see how our own lives are important as a part of the world around us.
Not just the world of here and now, but also
the world of the future. We need to see our own lives as a part of the historical process.
When we do this, when we begin to see ourselves in this context, then we begin to understand our
responsibility and purpose. We begin to understand what's really important in our lives.
We see that we have a responsibility to the people who came before us and made it possible for us to have lived.
