• W359305229 abstract "My son Ben passed away last year, victim of cruel, debilitating; and merciless cancer. Despite his pain and certainty of how it would end, Ben wrote this poignant essay Although he was spared horror of September 11, his counsel of optimism and hope has softened my shock and outrage over his death and deaths of so many innocent victims of that tragedy that stunned America and world Ben had great faith in America in 21st century; his optimism can be salutary antidote for us all. Mario Rabinowitz America survived 20th century, somehow intact. As Soviet Union collapsed under its own weight toward end of century splintering into 15 newly independent states, America emerged as single superpower of world. And as it did, it assumed an awesome responsibility. Globally and domestically, America faces monumental spiritual, social, and political questions as we begin new millennium. What should be cornerstone principles that guide our nation through 21st century? What can we do to fan flames of hope and compassion that are just beginning to burn brightly? How should we invest our nation's great wealth and direct its tremendous strength to guard against tragic errors of 20th century while shaping 21st century and our dream for Americas future? Lennon's Song John Lennon may have been contemplating similar questions when he penned poignantly timeless lyrics to his gentle, powerful anthem, Imagine. When he wrote, Imagine all people/Living life in peace, he was as much voicing prayer as universal song of hope. In his song, Lennon longs for utopia--a world where there is no heaven ... no hell.., no countries ... no possessions ... no need for greed or hunger. Most of us, I suspect, if asked to imagine utopia, would not focus, as Lennon did, on negatives. We'd look instead at positives--unlimited possessions, satiated desires, heaven on Earth. In our utopia, everyone would be as rich as Bill Gates or as talented as Shakespeare or as brilliant as Einstein. All utopias, of course, are unrealistic, and whether we dream for banishment of desire or fulfillment of it, we should leaven our imaginings with plausible. It is good to know what we are ultimately aiming for and to aim high, but we shouldn't aim too high. We need to remain hopeful but realistic, to better avoid delusion and disillusion. The American Century While it is commonplace belief that 20th century was the American Century, we can only imagine what next 100 years will reveal in us. If America hopes to be great leader throughout 2lst century, it must assume greater responsibility for its past. We must appraise our successes and our failures--through commission and omission--and commit ourselves to future based on peace and ideals of a brotherhood of man. We need no more Hitlers or Holocausts or Pearl Harbors, no more trauma and terrorism. America's successes in past century have paved road for present one. Advances in worker safety and medical science have given us powerful tools in fight against accidents and illness. The end of nuclear arms race and Cold War has freed up financial and technological resources. Economic growth and ecological rescue have ceased being competing ethics; increasingly, business and political leaders understand necessity of meeting demands of both. Pope John Paul II, Dalai Lama, and religious leaders from many other faiths have been espousing ecumenism as they seek peaceful foundation for mutual respect among world's great spiritual traditions. Emerging, strong and enlightened, grassroots citizen movements, like civil rights movement and women's movement, have continued to expand rights of all Americans and help make 20th century source of inspiration. …" @default.
