Anyone who knows history, particularly the history of Europe,
will, I think, recognize that the domination of education or of government

and when to look upon things as too absurd to take seriously,
the other person is ashamed to carry through
even if he was serious about it.

The process never ends until we die.
And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.
