Rather. it stem from I our own fear -of being ultimate- ly responsible for our actions. For freedom and responsibility fruit of much self-denial. A world that is composed sols- ly of matter must necessarily be ‘ a pro-determined world. Matter is limited in its nature. it does not choose freely to react to stimuli one way rather than another. Its reactions are al- ready determined by its very‘ nature. Therefore. things that a re ‘ purely material are not held re- sponsible for their activity. If a ' plate falls to the ‘ smashes to bits. we do n of. blame the plate and we do not. blame the floor. But'if a man takes the plate i and deliberately throws it on r the floor. we do blame ' are acknowledging the fact that .i he is not purely material when 1. we 0 so. Y His action was not pro-deter ‘ mined, he could have done oth- . erwise. , MATERIAL WORLD l A purely material world nec- essarily denies both freedom r and responsibility. Yet freedoml is the constant demand of man. I We recognize immediately oul-L capacity for free activity and 1 we are willing to die rather than . lose our opportunities to eXel-l else our freedom. We are not nearly so ready to die in shouldering the responsi-. bility that freedom entails. but; we should be. for freedom and“ responsibility cannot be separ-. ated. Either they are being found together or neither exists. i The choice that lies before us 5 is this. Either we must accept ' the world as purely material or else we must admit that man is titer raises hlm abov material world. The same recognition of free- dom and responsibility. praise and blame. is evident in our nt- tltude toward wrongdoers. We punish them. This would grossly unfair if there were no freedom involved. PUNISH WRONG We recogniwe the spirituality of man prior to any reflection on the. subject. Why. then. do we tend to deny it afterwards? Why are we so ready to hear . that man is not spiritual as well ‘ as corporeal. Is it not because to be spiritual involves being re- l sponsible’.’ ' the purely my master tells me to do some.- thing I obey."
