Description
Excerpt from Is Life Worth Living?
In short, the more we consider the matter, and the more various the points from which we do so, the more plain will it become to us that the prob lem the present age is confronted by is an alto gether unanswered one and that the closest seeming parallels to be found amongst other times and races, have far less really of parallelism in them than of contrast. The path of thought, as it were, has taken a sudden turn round a menu tain and our bewildered eyes are staring on an undreamed-oi prospect. The leaders of progress thus far have greeted the sight with acclamation, and have confidently declared that we are looking on the promised land. But to the more thought ful,~and to the less impulsive, it IS plain that a mist hangs over it, and that we have no right to be sure whether it is the promised land or no.
