Some magicians walk, work and drive blindfolded. Some animals can see even in dense darkness, but some human beings are blind although there is light and they have eyes. Man stumbles from one blunder to an even greater one. Every remedy he invents proves to be worse than the disease. Only in the light of wisdom will he discern the middle path.
There was a time when man was illiterate, uncivilized and used sign language and stone implements. His world consisted only of immediate neighbors. he was unable to commit wholesale genocide and fought only in self-defense. Mankind has swung to the other extreme and now we hate people we have not met, who are unaware of our existence, because they do not share our faith, beliefs or physical features.
Man has broken the shackles of slavery but he has carried this "independence" so far that he is unable to live in peace. He does not possess the light of wisdom or discrimination in which alone he shall have power (without desiring destruction), freedom, good neighborliness, learning with humility, and compassion which are essential if man is to survive as a civilized and progressive force.
We need that light and we pray to the Lord that he command, once again "Let there be Light" and there shall be light.
