Let me say this: there is no greater human motivation than the need for other relationships. The question is only if we will make the right choices.

What if people really cared about people? Let me suggest that if Christians, without giving up one iota or one inflection mark of doctrine, actually loved other people besides their own families, the Japanese would be a lot more interested in replicating faith in Christ rather than building machines...
