The Average Person Would Only Become Aware…

The average person would only become aware of the importance of the values and conditions that have been bequeathed to him if he could feel, in the flesh, all that his ancestors have suffered. That is impossible. Few words, for example, are as dry as “freedom” when uttered in free countries. Its semantics hide the amount of blood that was shed to win it, and for free citizens to understand it, they would have to experience its absence. The same is true in many other cases, and from this we realize that when history and education are useless, it is ridiculous to talk about this so-called “progress”.
