hysically；　emotionally　and　financially　fortunate　as　mine　has　been；　a　great　many　people　have　helped　me。　A　few　meant　to；　most　did　so　by　accident。　I　still　feel　I　must　reciprocate。　This　doesn’t　mean　that　I’ve　dedicated　my　life　to　my　fellow　man。　I’m　not　the　type。　But　I　do　feel　I　should　help　those　I’m　qualified　to　help；　just　as　I’ve　been　helped　by　others。

What　I’m　saying　now　is；　I　feel；　part　of　that　pattern。　I　think　everyone　should；　for　his　own　sake；　try　to　reduce　to　six　hundred　words　the　beliefs　by　which　he　lives—it’s　not　easy—and　then　pare　those　beliefs　with　what　he　enjoys—not　in　real　estate　and　money　and　goods；　but　in　love；　health；　happiness　and　laughter。

I　don’t　believe　we　1ive　our　lives　and　then　receive　our　reward　or　punishment　in　some　afterlife。　The　life　and　the　reward。。。　the　life　and　the　punishment—these　to　me　are　one。　This　is　my　religion；　coupled　with　the　firm　belief　that　there　is　a　Supreme　Being　who　planned　this　world　and　runs　it　so　that　“no　man　is　an　island；　entire　of　himself。。。”　The　dishonesty　of　any　one　man　subverts　all　honesty。　The　lack　of　ethics　anywhere　adulterates　the　whole　world’s　ethical　content。　In　these—honesty　and　ethics—are；　I　think；　the　true　spiritual　values。

I　believe　the　hope　for　a　thoroughly　honest　and　ethical　society　should　never　be　laughed　at。　The　most　idealistic　dreams　have　repeatedly　forecast　the　future。　Most　of　the　things　we　think　of　today　as　hard；　practical　and　even　indispensable　were　once　merely　dreams。

So　I　like　to　hope　that　the　world　need　not　be　a　dog…eat…dog　jungle。　I　don’t　think　I’m　my　brother’s　keeper。　But　I　do　think　I’m　obliged　to　be　his　helper。　And　that　he　has　the　same　obligation　to　me。

In　the　last　analysis；　the　entire　pattern　of　my　life　and　belief　can　be　found　in　the　words　“Do　not　do　unto　others　that
