I've been reading a lot of Albert Schweitzer lately, and today, Eleanor Roosevelt. Maybe these two
are the two icons I'd point to in the last 1000 years as our Purest Saints, really.
I think Eleanor's biggest concern on earth was what I call Meaningful Work - enough Meaningful (Loving) work for everyone. For Schweitzer his moral Holy Grail was Reverence for Life, but the expression of that is Meaningful Work! Loving Service - Loving! And, Loving, Meaningful Work is my conclusion as the most needed thing on earth, the most
needed thing by EVERY human being. And we have almost no meaningful work left in the US.
