There is a belief which follows this. If I have the potential of the good life within me and the compulsion to express it， then it is a power and compulsion common to all men. What I must have for myself to conduct my search， all men must have： freedom of choice， faith in the power and the beneficent qualities of truth. What frightens me most today is the denial of these rights， because this can only come from the denial of what seems to me the essential nature of man. For if my conviction holds， man is more important than anything he has created and our great task is to bring back again into a subordinate position the monstrous superstructures of our society.
