“We come here because we too feel a responsibility for the human community. To preserve and develop a human quality of life is the common responsibility of us all. It is not fitting that those concerned with the various aspects of the human be alienated from each other. Both you and ourselves represent forces too profound and aim at objectives too significant for either of us to succeed completely without the assistance of the other. The urgency of our work impels us to get on with our common task lest a new period of disaster erupt over the Earth.” FeelsHumansEarthLife IsForceCommunityCommonQualityResponsibilityPeriodsSucceedConcernedAspectTasksAimProfoundVariousDisasterSignificantObjectivesPreservesAssistanceQuality Of LifeFittingUrgencyHuman QualitiesNot Fitting Author:Thomas Berry
