It is a society of the ever-widening gap between poor and rich, right and wrong, the dimin

However, it is essential to instill in our childrens young hearts an undying faith in humanity. We must develop our own trust — that political leaders are ethically and morally upright, that civilization is basic to our very survival, that the earth under our feet is amply irrigated and a heavy cross bravely borne. We must believe that beneath the clutter and chaos of this treacherous world lie things that will never decay, despite constant erosion — matters such as responsibility, integrity, moral fortitude and courage.
