It is a world full of doubt and confusion, where vulnerability must be hidden, not shared; where competition, not co-operation, is the order of the day; where men sacrifice the possibility of knowing their own children and sharing in their upbringing, for the sake of a job they may have chosen by chance, which may not suit them and which in many cases dominates their lives to the exclusion of much else.” “In order to master the unruly torrent of life the learned man meditates, the poet quivers, and the political hero erects the fortress of his will.” “There is the illusion of time, which is very deep; who has disposed of it?
