The way we perceive the world is heavily influenced by our past experiences and current expectations.
The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.
"Every child deserves to see themselves in the stories they read."
The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.
