” Oh, love, let us be true
To one another! For the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
No certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night. “
‘Dover Beach’
Matthew Arnold
I am convinced that the time is already over and must be of necessity over when religions are left to the clerics and gurus, politics to the politicians, science to the scientists, journalism to the journalists, and economics to the banks and multinationals. This is by no means to imply the individuals in question are all untrustworthy. The system is luring many of them to harm others and nature. That is why all of us need to be concerned and heard. Otherwise we may end up as soulless robots, serving forces that are engaged in unprecedented new forms of global conflicts and disasters in this nuclear age.
