This is a reading of an article I wrote for the Fall 2024 edition of 3rd Act Magazine. I recall the 60's and 70's when many of us had a youthful passion to create a better world.
Now, decades later, we may not have the energy and exuberance of our youth, but we can still be passionate about our values and our convictions. We can still work to realize our dreams for a better world.
I also suggest that we have the additional responsibility to use our status as elders to articulate a vision of a better form of humanity. We human beings are wondrous creatures, but are deeply flawed in ways that are dangerous to the health, well-being and survival of our world. Just as we have worked to bend the arc of history towards greater equality and justice, we should, in our mature years, aim to bend the arc of evolution towards a more advanced form of humanity.
