That sort of depends on how you define our finest moments. When I read the article about the Catholics working for peace I thought that was pretty fine. And In the Holocaust, there were many people who risked their lives and their families lives for others, which is also fine. Gandhi was fine. Maybe even finest. And so is the Dalai Lama. At least in my definition. War and hellish conditions created the resilience and heart in all the above examples. Science is great, but it isn't humanity, it isn't morality. Humanity is great, it isn't morality either but both morality and science are parts of. It is very fine as science, but I have always felt our finest moments had to be just a little bit more. To steal from Dr. Seuss, another fine man. All of us are surrounded by heroes and villains and you never know who your friends are until you need them.
