Men have in them the possibility of eventual perfection and it is their inadequacies that lead to war, not the workings of history or an evil providence. The same can be said of the length of men's lives and of their dream of a golden age without the conflicts of civilized life. In the first place, men's short life is necessary and a blessing. If men lived longer, their natural characteristics would have an increased capacity to develop at a time when world culture had not yet been substituted for them.
