For me, the principal fact of life is the free mind
For me, the principal fact of life is the free mind. For good and evil, man is a free creative spirit. This produces the very queer world we live in, a world in continuous creation and therefore continuous change and insecurity. A perpetually new and lively world, but a dangerous one, full of tragedy and injustice. A world in everlasting conflict between the new idea and the old allegiances, new arts and new inventions against the old establishment.
~~ Joyce Cary ~~
This explains very precisely why there always have been conflicts in the world and why there always will be conflicts. But that doesn’t mean we should not try to eliminate or at least minimize these conflicts and human suffering that these conflicts invariably cause.
