"We are here. We will work together for what purpose seems to us right. We will work with calm, and with tolerance and, please God, with saving laughter." We understand human nature, including flaws like evil, laziness, and selfishness. We aim to use our intelligence and good faith to overcome these challenges. Even if we fail, our role as a society is to serve as a bridge and conduit, meaning we are meant for a higher purpose.
Our existence has a purpose, and our efforts are directed toward achieving it. If we stay committed and steadfast, future generations will be able to look back and, when judging us, will see that we did our best despite imperfections. Our unity and perseverance are vital to ensuring that humanity's integrity remains intact when the time of judgment or reckoning arrives.
