This is an age of suspicion, when most of us seem to live by the rule Suspect thy neighbor as thyself. Such radical suspicion leads to despair of man’s capacity to be free and to eventual surrender to demonic forces, surrender to idols of power, to the monsters of self-righteous ideologies. What will save us is a revival of reverence for man, immitigable indignation at acts of violence, burning compassion for all who are deprived, the wisdom of the heart. Before imputing guilt to others, let us examine our own failures. What all men have in common is poverty, anguish, in security. What all religions have in common is power to refute the fallacy of absolute expediency, insistence that the dignity of man is in his power of compassion, in his capacity for sacrifice, self-denial.
