Building for All
Great ideas, it has been said, come into the world as
gently as doves. Perhaps then, if we listen attentively, we shall hear amid the
uproar of empires and nations, a faint flutter of wings, a gentle stirring of
life and hope. Some will say that this hope lies in a nation; others in a
person. I believe rather that it is awakened, revived, nourished by millions of
solitary individuals whose deeds and works every day negate frontiers and the
crudest implications of history. As a result, there shines forth fleetingly the
ever-threatened truth that each and every person, on the foundation of his or
her own sufferings and joys, builds for all.
