More From Joyce Carol Oates

I have seen war. i have seen war on land and sea. i have seen blood running from the wounded. i have seen men coughing out their gassed lungs. i have seen the dead in the mud. i have seen cities destroyed. i have seen 200 limping, exhausted men come out of line—the survivors of a regiment of 1,000 that went forward 48 hours before. i have seen children starving. i have seen the agony of mothers and wives. i hate war.

Real Moving Passion
As tough as things have been, i am convinced you are tougher. i've seen your passion and i've seen your service. i've seen you engage and i've seen you turn out in record numbers. i've heard your voices amplified by creativity and a digital fluency that those of us in older generations can barely comprehend. i've seen a generation eager, impatient even, to step into the rushing waters of history and change its course.

The human longings that are deep inside of us never go away. they exist across cultures; they exist throughout life. when people were first made, our deepest longing was to know and be known. and after the fall, when we all got weird, it's still our deepest longing - but it's now also our deepest fear.

We’ve lost something vital, i tell you. when we lost it, we lost the ability to make good decisions. we fall upon decisions these days the way we fall upon an enemy—or wait and wait, which is a form of giving up, and we allow the decisions of others to move us. have we forgotten that we were the ones who set this current flowing?
