What's Wanted

Christmas highlights the basic desires of human beings. In fact, the most often asked question in the United States this month will be “what do you want?”

With that as backdrop, look beyond all the seasonal things and to all of mankind and ask it again, what do you want?

The answer comes back:

• from the grey choking smog of Mexico City...
• to the azure sky and white beaches of Polynesia
• in the dark and foreboding valleys of Tibet
• to the damp rain forest huts of the Amazon
• even the wealthiest city in the world, Tokyo

It’s the same: Everyone has three basic needs, even each here tonight would agree. What are they?
