The sad (happy?) irreversibility of the end of mankind is so evident, that, for someone to believe in the slightest glimmer of hope, can only be noticed with the greatest displeasure and incomprehension. In almost all instances of our social life, the psychological roots of our self-destrucion are grinning through the perforated garment of our (superficial) philanthropy. An unrequited greeting in some godforsaken street finds its positive psychological equivalent on the battlefield: in the "fire!" gesture of the artillery captain, who has nothing better in mind but the destruction of his enemy (who is himself). The coldness between people is a phenomenon inherent to human nature and is only slightly (insignificantly) affected by external changes of economic and political character.
