Invention
Everything is invented.
Language. Childhood. Careers.
Relationships. Religion.
Philosophy. the Future
They are not there for the plucking.
They don't exist in some natural state.
The must be invested by people.
And that, of course, is a great thing.
Don't mope in your room.
Go INVENT something.
That is the American message.
Electricity. Flight. The Telephone.
Televison. Computers. Walking on the Moon.
It never stops.
