We Have To Do The Best We

I Am An Adherent Of The Ideal Of Democracy, Although I Well Know The Weaknesses Of The Democratic Form Of Government. Social Equality And Economic Protection Of The Individual Appeared To Me Always As The Important Communal Aims Of The State. Although I Am A Typical Loner In Daily Life, My Consciousness Of Belonging To The Invisible Community Of Those Who Strive For Truth, Beauty, And Justice Has Preserved Me From Feeling Isolated.

I Am Strongly Drawn To The Simple Life And Am Often Oppressed By The Feeling That I Am Engrossing An Unnecessary Amount Of The Labour Of My Fellow Men. I Regard Class Differences As Contrary To Justice And, In The Last Resort, Based On Force. I Also Consider That Plain Living Is Good For Everybody, Physically And Mentally.

Don't Be Too Hard On Me. Everyone Has To Sacrifice At The Altar Of Stupidity From Time To Time.

There Are Few Enough People With Sufficient Independence To See The Weaknesses And Follies Of Their Contemporaries And Remain Themselves Untouched By Them.

The Most Difficult Part About Understanding Something Is That We Understand It All.
