It is said that the modern man has it easy, since he no longer
sweats the rough and tough stuff of survival.  In fact the task
of survival is, like everything else, at least as hard today as
ever before.

Utter comfort can be the norm in a society in which the average
work day is only three or four hours.  But for this to be
possible now, eight hours per day were required previously.  In
other words, if we ask, "Where are those who worked four hours a
day?", the answer would be, "Living on reservations."  Man is
constantly at war with what he might become.  The question, "Does
awareness of this mean we are no longer at its mercy?" remains to
be answered.

Is war so hated because it is wasteful?  Of young men, of cities,
of time?  Then I say avoiding war can be just as wasteful!
