Seven Words that can Change the World

A NaturalNews Special Report by Joseph R. Simonetta


Preface

When I was a candidate for Congress from Pennsylvania’s 15th Congressional District after I won my party’s nomination in the 1986 primary election, a professor from Lehigh University said to me, “You know, you are liable to win this election; you’re trying something different. You’re telling the truth.” As it turned out, the fifth-term incumbent congressman whom I challenged and who outspent me nine to one (I refused to seek or accept PAC money) won in the general election. I received forty-three percent of the vote, more than any previous challenger. I had worked hard for--and achieved--the name recognition that would have enabled me to launch another challenge two years later. When that time came, however, I decided not to do that.

From my seventeen-month, nonstop political campaign, I developed a keen understanding of the world of politics. The answers to our problems, I learned, would never come from that battleground of adversarial self-interest groups. Larger issues and realities must first be understood and resolved in order for the political process to serve the common good. The “simple truths” in this book address those larger problems.

These problems are complex, severe, and compounded by the fact that we add in excess of 1,500,000 people to our population weekly. When we see and experience great injustice, suffering, inequity, and violence daily, we want desperately to solve such problems. But how? How can we reduce ignorance and suffering and expand knowledge and justice? Where do we begin?

As Albert Einstein observed, we can’t solve our problems from the same level of thinking out of which they originated. What level of thinking are we at? What level must we get to? How do we get there?

The journalist Edward R. Morrow once said, “The obscure we see eventually, the completely apparent takes a little longer.” Curious statement: “the completely apparent takes a little longer.” Mark Twain, commenting about life, said similarly, “What tedious training day after day, year after year, never ending to learn common sense.”

“The completely apparent.” “Common sense.” As we grow older, we learn that common sense is not that common. It has been said that common sense to an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom. Wisdom about what? Wisdom about life. About the architecture of life. And that is what this book is about: the architecture of life.
