Laughter Is A Powerful Way To Tap

Fortunately Or Otherwise We Live At A Time When The Average Individual Has To Know Several Times As Much In Order To Keep Informed As He Did Only Thirty Or Forty Years Ago. Being "educated" Today Requires Not Only More Than A Superficial Knowledge Of The Arts And Sciences, But A Sense Of Inter-relationship Such As Is Taught In Few Schools. Finally, Being "educated" Today, In Terms Of The Larger Needs, Means Preparation For World Citizenship; In Short, Education For Survival.

The Present Mode Of Life On Earth Is Madness, Which Is Nontheless Lethal For Being Legal. Rational Existence Is Possible, But It Calls For A World Consciousness And A World Design. People Who Develop The Habit Of Thinking Of Themselves As World Citizens Are Fulfilling The First Requirement Of Sanity In Our Time.

We Are Becoming A Nation Of Sissies And Hypochondriacs, A Self Medicating Society Easily Intimidated By Pain And Prone To Panic. We Understand Almost Nothing About The Essential Robustness Of The Human Body Or Its Ability To Meet The Challenge Of Illness.
