Light a Candle

by Dennis McCormack

Dennis McCormack, author of five books, shares, through poetry and prose, his insight on human nature and our innate ability to show benevolence to others. “Neither earthquake, nor Voltaire,nor Darwin's flock, nor poverty, nor the death of children, divert me from my praise of others in this world,” he says. “This world is the best of all possible worlds, dear reader, and you are members of the best of all possible families—the human family.”“Every human being has a value that cannot be reduced to someone else’s convenience,” McCormack says. On materialism,he asks, “Suppose you had one wish. You could receive a ten-million-dollar cash prize or find the person who would love youto the end. What choice would you make?”
