Present-day warriors
Something that my mentor, Prof. Myrna S. Feliciano, sent me sometime ago:
"Of what real value is this materialistic progress of which we boast, if we do not know how to live? If falsehoold and lying and expediency are permissible, then our moral core is softening and our peril is greed indeed.
"Our task is not to find excuses,
but to repair the broken,
to strengthen the weak,
to win back the wavering,
to carry forward the banner of clean and decent living.
"We are the warriors of our day, the realistic fighters in an everlasting war against a retreat from moral law.
"In such a war, there can be no compromise, for either we meet the onslaught of unrighteous living with potent and powerful weapons, or we leave a legacy of waste."
- George Sokolsky
