It’s all a question of hanging on through this period of peril, because once man reaches the point of the ‘haves’ being in the majority, the mood of the politicians will change very dramatically. So it’s a question of encouraging man to really be aware of his great potential and not throw away his chances for success. I can understand why there’s such impatience with those who fear change and really do find themselves rooted in the old ways. But for the young people to expect older people to get their conditioned reflexes out of their system in a hurry is unreasonable. We are coming to success by virtue of all the people who fall in the fantastic continuity of sacrifice that has been made by all humanity all down the line. The number of human beings who have perished and sacrificed and given themselves is just unbelievable, and I don’t like to hear any young people belittle what society has been through to bring it to where it is now. Boy! It’s been a hard-won battle, and we are now very close to where it can be won. And it could also be lost because of kids becoming intemperate and not being tolerant of the people around them.
