Enthusiastic dreamers know no balanced factual appraisal of the world's spiritual situation. Either they declare mournfully that we are all doomed to cataclysmic self-made destruction or they assert joyfully that the perfect millennium will shortly dawn. The truth is that men are too good and too sensible to fall into the first fate but they are too wicked and too foolish to deserve the second.
