JUGEMテーマ：反戦・非戦I'm sorry but I don't want to be an emperor.That's not my business.I
don't want to rule or conquer anyone.I should like to help everyone if
possible; Jew, Gentile, black men, white.We all want to help one another.Human beings are like that.We want to live by each others' happiness,
not by each other's misery.We don't want to hate and despise one another.In this world there is room for everyone.And the good earth is rich and
can provide for everyone.The way of life can be free and beautiful, but
we have lost the way. Greed has
poisoned men's souls; has barricaded the world with hate; has goose-stepped us
into misery and bloodshed.We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves
in.Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.Our knowledge has made
us cynical; our cleverness, hard and unkind.We think too much and feel too
little.More than machinery we need humanity.More than cleverness, we need
kindness and gentleness.Without these qualities, life will be violent and all
will be lost.The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together.The
very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in man; cries out for
universal brotherhood; for the unity of us all.Even now my voice is reaching
millions throughout the world, millions of despairing men, women, and little
children, victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent
people.To those who can hear me, I say "Do not despair."The misery that is now
upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of
human progress.The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they
took from the people will return to the people.And so long as men die, liberty
will never perish. Soldiers!Don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you and enslave you; who
regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think and what to feel!Who
drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder!Don't give
yourselves to these unnatural men---machine men with machine minds and machine
hearts!You are not machines!You are not cattle!You are men!You have a love
of humanity in your hearts!You don't hate!Only the unloved hate; the unloved
and the unnatural. Soldiers!Don't fight for slavery!Fight for liberty!In the seventeenth chapter of St.
Luke, it’s written “the kingdom of God is within man”, not one man nor a group
of men, but in all men!In you!You, the people, have the power, the power to
create machines, the power to create happiness!You, the people, have the power
to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.Then in the name of democracy, let us use that power.Let us all
unite.Let us fight for a new world, a decent world that will give men a chance
to work, that will give youth a future and old age a security.By the promise of
these things, brutes have risen to power.But they lie!They do not fulfill
their promise.They never will!Dictators free themselves but they enslave the
people!Now let us fight to fulfill that promise!Let us fight to free the
world!To do away with national barriers!To do away with greed, with hate and
intolerance!Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and
progress will lead to all men’s happiness.Soldiers, in the name of
democracy, let us all unite!Hanna, can
you hear me?Wherever you are, look up Hanna!The clouds are lifting!The sun is
breaking through!We are coming out of the darkness into the light!We are
coming into a new world; a kind new world, where men will rise above their hate,
their greed, and brutality.Look up, Hanna!The soul of man has been given wings
and at last he is beginning to fly.He is flying into the rainbow.Into the
light of hope!Into the future!The glorious future!That belongs to you, to me,
and to all of us.Look up, Hanna!Look up!
