When a world goes to pieces, when inhumanity reigns supreme,
man cannot go on with business as usual.
One then has to radically re-evaluate all of what one has done, believed in, stood for.
In short, one has to take a stand on the new reality, a firm stand,
and not one of retirement into even greater privatization.
