Challenges to human beings encapsulated, limited only to the realm of human societies themselves [man-made challenges], are not conducive to producing the type of human produced through exposure to both man-made and natural challenges.

People in this country, many people in this country do not know what it’s like to suffer… The type of character and constitution that is developed through suffering a broad range of things, is lacking more and more in this country. Just as messing with certain ecosystems by removing a particular organism, altering the weather… by eliminating certain struggles, by insulating people from certain struggles, whether your intentions are good, monetary… affects mankind’s character, constitution, being in ways one cannot forecast with any certainty.

It’s a sad fact, but most people in positions of power eventually end up serving at least 2 masters. It’s a shame it can’t just be one -that of the welfare [I said welfare (of all) not benefit (of a few)] of all!
