The collective shouting, deluding about the great questions of life, throws sand into the human spirit and diverts it from the essential. One who spends his days distracted and judging important second-rate problems, when violently struck by a great issue, loses control: he simply has not prepared himself. To know how to deal with the great events, not letting himself act stupidly and impulsively when surprised, prior and regular reflection is necessary.
