Some Still Dream

There is a lot of talk about this. It’s amazing to think of how many people still dream of a world in which there is nothing but peace. Then I think, of course, they are right. But if the One who made the world and has our life in his hand is not acknowl­ edged, if we refuse to turn to him as the power we need for this, this dream is very much a fantasy. Nothing will come of it. Our misery resists and wriggles like a snake. Set up ten states and base them on the various opinions of out­ standing leaders who believe they have the answer. Let one be based in a com­ munity of goods; or let one operate according to some benevolent, supreme authority, perhaps with a religious framework; or have one in which only the poor, the workers, have anything to say. Then make the laws as strong as can be; we will still see the same awful mess we experience today, and have experi­ enced for thousands of years. Only its form will have changed a little.
