Under the new conditions of perfect comfort and security, that restless energy, that with us is strength, would become weakness.⬇️

Strength is the outcome of need; security sets a premium on feebleness. The work of ameliorating the conditions of life the true civilizing process that makes life more and more secure—had gone steadily on to a climax. One triumph of a united humanity over Nature had followed another. Things that are now mere dreams had become projects deliberately put in hand and carried forward. And the harvest was what I saw!

Even in our own time certain tendencies and desires, once necessary to survival, are a constant source of failure. Physical courage and the love of battle, for instance, are no great help—may even be hindrances—to a civilized man. And in a state of physical balance and security, power, intellectual as well as physical, would be out of place.
