But people have different ideas.

• There is a pessimist who says, "If the world has got to this state of destruction who can help it, how can it be helped?" This is like a person who says, "Well, I have been so ill, I have suffered so much, I do not care. How can I be well now? It is too late." In this way he holds on to his disease and he cherishes it, though he does not like it.
• And then there is the curious person, who is very anxious to look at the newspaper and see whether his investments have gone up or whether they have gone down, and to see whether there is the probability of war; and he will excite his friends about it.
• Then there is another person who says, "Committees must be formed, there must be societies and leagues; congresses must be held, and many more meetings, many more discussions." There seems to be no end to the discussions and disputes in order to find out the ways and means of how to improve conditions!
