Amid committees, coinmissions, and the other social Structures that engulf us, where 'they' do things rather than 'I', we tend to avoid responsibility, even for ourselves. While this anonymity may be comfortable, in a very short time it makes life meaningless. This year let's bring back the personal resolution, if only as a gesture of defiance against the corporate , lump that so depressingly sucks us under. Here are a 'few' for consideration: Resolve to be committed to something — be it ever so small — arid see it through. It may be canvassing for United Appeal, or the Red Cross; visiting a shut-in regularly, giving leadership to a group of youngsters; even adding to community integrity by paying bills on time, , DeVelop a healthy skepticisM about what is on TV. Every shot of every situation does not automatically contain the truth; photography on be as slanted and :shallow as some verbal reporting, (Since you can 99 back andre-read whet is, in print, the newspaper doesn't 'hit-and-run' in the -same devastating way.) Refuse to be a slave of the 'newest' lust because it makes the most .noise, whether it be art, polities or morals, For every genuine insight there are ten sterile, blind alley. bypasses 'whose misdirection has to be corrected before we can progress, and Ariel I:),Lliont, who Wori the .Nobel prize .last year for their final volume of the "History. of Civilization" wrote recently: "It is good that new ideas should be heard for the sake of the . few .that can be used; it is good also that -new ideas should be compelled to go through the mill of opposition. This is, the trial heat which innovations must survive before being allowed to enter, the:human race." This year, let's not shrug. helplessly before every problem; let's tend ivprid,be counted.
