Now, maybe, you realize that you have been infected by everything, quite as much as all the people that you’ve ever complained about. You’re infected with exactly the same stuff. It’s massive - like a tidal-wave passing over us. Most people think that there’s nothing to do but get in there and ’slug it out’ - because ’that’s life’. With a little reflection one comes to see that it just doesn’t work. Everybody’s been slugging-it-out for thousands of years - and the last ’slug’ will probably be the hydrogen bomb.
