Where Is This World of Love?

There is a world where hate, injustice, and suffering are not present. People do not rush so much, and more time is given to the care of small, helpless abandoned animals. Everyone loves someone; everyone need someone; and everyone is happy. There are laws, but because these inhabitants love peace and despise violence, no police force is needed. There is no crime.

Where is this Utopia? It is found in the hearts of most people. But somehow, when men try to put these ideas into effect, something happens. Everyone wants peace-even the Communists, for they too are human, a fact often overlooked. But somehow we have war and chaos in Viet Nam, the Dominican Republic, and many

other places in the world. Everyone wants his neighbor to live as happily and as freely as he does, but violent demonstrations ignite when Negro families attempt to move into a predominantly white neighborhood.

Why? The opinion is that men are afraid to initiate programs that could accomplish what they inwardly desire. Their fears cause mistrust of others, whether they be individuals or nations; and this mistrust builds into hate. Of course, we cannot sit back and allow the world to be conquered by Communism; but if men would have trusted each other and not have been so suspicious of others, there would never have been any force of evil-Communism to us, and capitalism to the Communists.
