"The mental struggle in human relations is shared by all of us, and we can see ourselves in Victor, in Tim, in Carl, in those beloved relatives you never got to know well enough, in the alcoholic neighbor, in the militant atheists, the street preachers, the unknown victims and may interleave with the experiences of other peoples (...) " Human problems have not changed in their root-causes. Social injustice, hate, racism, totalitarian and political ideologies, conflicts pretext-based on religious convictions, you name it. When trillions are spent on looking for water on other planets while people here on Earth are still dying of thirst, I remember Jidda Krishnamurti's words: "It is no measure of good health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." Nevertheless; "Books are not made to be believed, but to be subject to inquiry." - Umberto Eco Is the cause and the cure of our troubles to be found in "love"? And to what extent can we have it from scratch, and lose it in the blink of an eye?
