Excerpt from Ford Ideals: Being a Selection From "Mr. Ford's Page" In the Dearborn Independent
But the trouble is, too many people are doing all their seeing within too narrow limits, and while their reports of what they see are true, they are not com prehensive. There is nothing more likely to be mis leading than a field of vision so narrow as to leave out part of the points. It is like seeing the elephant so limitedly as to report only his tail or tusks. The animal appears quite differently in a comprehensive view.
Now, all this has an important application to the state of mind in which many people find themselves today. There are perhaps more minds focused on economic problems than ever before, more people thinking, or perhaps it is more truthful to say they are wondering, about the conditions which have be fallen human affairs.
It is probably true that though we are all looking and wondering, we do not see very much as yet; but it is still a mighty fact that the minds of the people are focused on their affairs. Formerly we left it all to the government or destiny; but now the govern ments have failed us, and destiny is not a thing to take without co-operation. And there is a million-fold more chance of seeing when we are looking than when we are not. That is the attitude of people today; they are looking, and presently they will see.
