MELBOURNE – With daily headlines focusing on war, terrorism, and the abuses of repressive governments, and religious leaders frequently bemoaning declining standards of public and private behavior, it is easy to get the impression that we are witnessing a moral collapse. But I think that we have grounds to be optimistic about the future.
发自墨尔本——看着每天充斥着战争，恐怖主义以及残暴政府滥权行为的报纸头条，听着那些宗教领袖们哀叹公共和私人生活的行为标准正不断下滑，这很容易给人以一种我们正生活在道德崩溃时代的印象。但笔者却觉得有理由对我们的未来保持乐观。
