When a two-yearp-old child, normally good
and obedient, sticks out his llip.-and. flatly
refirsTsto de something'reasonable, and
defies threats of spankings, he is not just-
being Stubborn. He is exhibiting, to the
world, , his sense of self, of independence.
That is the human spkit. . '
When an 80-"year ofd man, ,or woman, ,
prefers to pig it alone in poverty and
discomfort; rather than be shuttled off to .'a
Cosy senior citizen's home, he or she is
doing the same.
When a nian or woman has enough guts
to say "Nol" at a time when all about are
saying "Yes!" that's the human spirit at -
- work.
Btit let's get down to an example we can
all understand. When a-inan gets up, after

outstretched, and says: "Darling, 'let me

I gave my 'students instructions er an
essay, and most of them went into a state
of mild shock. They s'houldn't have.. They
are dealing with. the human spirit, their
own and others, every minute' of their
young lives.

great writers and thinkers have explored
the human creature in an effort to pinslown
this eln*sive thing.
Some philosophers have believed they

Writers give examples of it. Artists try ,
depic its highest aspirations.
Thelnifrian spirit exists in all of us. It,
along 'with the power,- to 'reason, is what
raises os,above the' level of the beasts.
Its presence is allied to 'all that' s good
and great in human kind: loyalty;-integrity,
compassionniOnor,. courage, dignity. ' •t•- -
Its absence represents all that is bad in
the human race: greed, cruelty, prejudice,
indifference, treacherSr. • . -
Given the right fertilizer, the human
spirit reaches' out to othef human spirits,
and mankind moves another inch toward
the stars.
Without propertiforishment, ' the
human spirit shrivels or warps, turns in on
itself, rots, and spreads like a• cancer. -
In certain periods, the undernourished -SPirit produces 'the great psychopaths like,
