Pax Plenitudia --- Penicillin for all

Pax Plenitude , Pax Plentitude , Pax Plenitudo , Pax Plenitudia : the peace of plenty.

What a wonderful thought for troubled people to hold tight to during the darkness of WWII .

And what a wonderfully multi-dimensional metaphor !

Plenty of food, plenty of warm fires and warm clothes, plenty of hugs, plenty of peace.

Plenty of wartime penicillin : plenty of penicillin for all those in the world who would otherwise die without it.

And the plentiful peace that could at long last descent on world at vicious war precisely because of denial of human plenitude.

Pax Penicillia and Martin Henry Dawson's "Neo-Plenitude"

The ever increasing use of the term "Neo-" since 1945 suggests that today we differ greatly from our grandparents in no longer holding fast to their Faith ---- a faith in ever-onward progress.

Today we often prefer a self-conscious circling back to older ideas (usually meaning "anything other than modernist" ideas) , rather than constantly seeking out ever newer ideas.

But because of our awareness that those older ideas have been very heavily modified by the weight of history upon them since they were first articulated, we prefer to prefix them with Neo- .
