Starting point

The number of men and women of each group or nation that becomes

aware of being creators and promoters of the culture of their own

community continues to increase. The sense of independence and

responsibility which is of prime importance for the spiritual and moral

maturity of humanity is developing all over the world. It appears even

clearer if we bear in mind world unification and the task we are called to

accomplish, that is to build a better world in truth and justice. In this

way we give testimony to the birth of a new humanism in which man is

identified first of all by his responsibility towards his brothers and

sisters and towards history. (GS, 55)
