"What then does the future depend upon? Evidently it depends upon the relations of men, of the people in the world, of the nations, of labour and capital, of the different religions and their adherents. If men can only realise how much more wonderful they are than they have been used to think, how vastly greater the possibilities of life are than they have imagined ... if they can learn self-government and self-restraint, if they can learn to work together ... without the necessity of wholesale fighting, they can have everything."
This was written in 1922, and we aren't much closer to it than we were then as a species (at least from where I sit), but perhaps - in our own small ways - we can take a small step in that direction in the future.
Have a good, happy, and merry 2011, friends and fellow roleplayers.
