Innumerable voices have been asserting for some time now that human society is passing through a crisis, that its stability has been gravely shattered. It is characteristic of such a situation that individuals feel indifferent or even hostile toward the group, small or large, to which they belong. In order to illustrate my meaning, let me record here a personal experience.

Thereupon my visitor, very calmly and coolly, said to me Why are you so deeply opposed to the disappearance of the human race |
