We
recognize that our progress as a species does not have to be defined in
terms of wealth or material and physical growth any more than our
progress as individuals has to be defined in terms of physical growth.
Physical growth of the body reaches a limit, but the character and the
soul of the individual continues to grow, or at least has a chance to
continue, often to our last breath. It is simple minded to define our
well being in material terms, when that well-being has an aesthetic
dimension, and intellectual dimension, a moral dimension.
