Item 1733

Jotting on an envelope

Spring, 1957

     Modern technology is materialistic. It ministers to the needs of the flesh. It does not manufacture poems, composes no music, climbs no mountains, seeks out no secrets of the stars. But it is of the Spirit. For all unknowingly, it is the product of a spiritual relationship — of a system not political, not governmental, not coercive, but voluntary and reciprocal among men. All its success springs from its practice of a single, simple rule of doing unto others in the same manner we would have others do unto us.
