Well, I'd like to think I am, and I'd also like to think that we're all having a lot more fun getting older than we pretend.

Our German language has a word which in a magnificent way denotes conduct based on this spirit: doing one's duty [Pflichterfüllung]-which means serving the community instead of contenting oneself. We have a word for the basic disposition which underlies conduct of this kind in contrast to egoism and selfishness-idealism. By 'idealism' we mean only the ability of the individual to sacrifice himself for the whole, for his fellow men.

The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world.
