Screenwriter and playwright Tony Kushner makes the observation that “In this world, there is a kind of painful process. Longing for what we’ve left behind and dreaming ahead.”
In the Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln wrote that government isn’t “…charged with the duty of redressing, or preventing, all the wrongs in the world” and felt that it’s role is do those things that cannot be done individually but need to be done collectively like roads, schools, public safety and national defense.
