Outer forces have no jurisdiction. Though a man's exterior estate be never so propitious, blessedness enters not from without. Why are there so many people-fully three out of every four-unhappy? As sure as you're born, happiness is becoming a lost art; that is, among humans. The birds haven't lost it. I have seen one of them of a morning in spring, singing from a bush by the roadside. It was pouring out its soul utterly. Had no longer thought of space or time or circumstance. Oblivious. As though singing was the business of its life. Its throat was puffed, its feathers stood out, its head tilted back. With a fine forgetfulness, with unpremeditated rapture, it was pushing all of itself into music. Now, sister, brother, something is wrong. You don't witness scenes like that in the human realm. Perhaps you'll say to me that birds are permitted to be happy, but not we, because we have the cares of civilization upon us. Then I'll say to you that a "civilization" which is getting us away from blessedness isn't civilization. And it's time we woke up to the cheat of it. Where's the trouble? I conceive it is to be found in one thing social climbing. Yes, I mean it. This rage to get front seats is what's the matter with us. Outrageous rivalry is pulverizing humankind into particles, each infinitely hard, infinitely egoistic, infinitely repellent. It is legislated into a law of the universe that in fellowship alone shall blessedness be found. Compute-do it mercilessly-the sum of the unhappiness of you that is due to disappointed personal aims. He who has no expectations of his own any more, but pours himself from inner wells into something larger than he-strong beyond describing is that man. He shall do exploits. But, it will be said to me, is not the superior person licensed to ascend, and thus to mount above his fellows? I say unto you, the superior person is indeed licensed to ascend-and to take his fellows with him in that ascent. Democracy is the dizziest idealism ever struck forth from the mind of God. It means, the all-of-us are one, ligatured each to the other by inviolable ties. The social climber seeks to put asunder what Democracy has joined together. We are informed that the peasantry of England in the fifteenth century was of a dignity and self-respect wanting today. For the reason that the then firmness of class barriers restrained the exceptional souls among them from rising into another class, they remained with their own, a leavening influence which ennobled and elevated the mass.

Who gave the out of doors to their brothers, anyway? HERE'S no doubt whatever about it, men have all the best of it in this world, and women have to put up with 'most anything. Why, just take that one example of the way the men go rooting in the back of the closet on the top floor after that old fishing-rod, the one with the black thread all wrapped about the part of it that split once when everyone in the neighborhood knows it was over five pounds. And there's the fuss they make over the disgraceful old clothes that are fit for only the ragbag, and goodness knows hardly that, and the disreputable hat that you were planning to give to Mandy Brown's husband the very next time he came after the ashes, and |
