COMMENTS
ON COEVAL LIFE
BY vlcToRlo A. VELAsco

We do not seem to realize that
what really counts and what real
" lasts is not the momentary
flash of fleeting fame, but the
enduring worth of service. unset
fish and genuine. Fame, position,
and rank are sometimes the in
dex of human vanity. more so
when We clamor FOR and idolize
them.
And man in all his conceit and
stupidity rushes in to clasp the
olitterino throne, TO hold the scep-
tire and wear the crown, only to
tumble down under the very
weight of his utter folly and gross
ignorance.
Like iron that Is spoiled by its
own rust, Man brings about his
own defeat by his own guilty
hands. This is the great irony
of human existence.
In our mad schamDle for power,
we have forgotten the beauty Of
friendship and the value of loyal
ty. We have at times pawned the
integrity Of our name, and the
loyalty of our friends, for the gilt
ter of gold and the fleeting power
of temporal authority.
We have acquired power which
does not last, and lost our friends
loyalty which would have endured.
We have gained the publics scorn
and contempt. and lost forever
our friends faith, trust. and con-
fidence. We snatched at the glory
of heaven above our heads, but
lost the firm ground on which
our feet stands.
