This is the time for high ideals because those ideals are all that we have. We aren't just fighting for our physical survival, but for the survival of our civilization. We don't have the luxury of old-world pillars. We don't have a common heritage, we don't have a millennia of history. All we have are the dreams and promises that bind us together. All we have...is what we want to be.
In the face of dire challenges, the notion of high ideals becomes crucial as they serve as the foundation for survival. The struggle extends beyond mere physical existence; it encompasses the very essence of civilization itself. In a time where traditional values and shared histories may no longer hold, society is left to rely on shared aspirations and mutual goals to guide them through adversity.
This lack of a common background calls for a focus on collective dreams and the aspirations that unite individuals. What matters now is not the legacy of the past but the vision of the future that people yearn for. The emphasis is on what society seeks to become, highlighting the power of hope and shared dreams in confronting the challenges ahead.
