One night recently, I was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour. A car approached from the
36 direction at about the same speed. As we
37 each other, I caught the other driver’s eye for only a second. I wondered whether he might be
38 , as I was, how dependent we were on each other at that moment. I was relying on him not to fall
39 , not to be put off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden
40 . Though we had
41 spoken a word to each other, he relied on me in just the same way.
Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world
42 . At some
43 , we all depend upon one another. Sometimes that dependence requires us
44 not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line. And sometimes it requires us to act
45 , with friends or even with
46 .
As technology
47 our world, the need increases for cooperative action among nations. In 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus, which
48 thousands of lives. The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a
49 problem, one requiring coordinated action by police and intelligence forces across the world’ We must recognize that our fates are not ours
50 to control.
In my own life, I’ve put great stock in
51 responsibility.
52 , as the years have passed, I’ve also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of
53 . So, while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a
54 road, what we must learn is that the approaching light may not be a threat, but a shared moment of
55 .
