Chapter 22 Preface

Human life activities are under various conditions, with various purposes and various events and destinies.In all these accidents and events, the most striking object is the cause and will of men; everywhere there is something that concerns us, and thus everywhere excites our enthusiasm for or against.It attracts us sometimes with beauty, freedom, wealth, sometimes with perseverance, and sometimes even flaws can manifest as something meaningful.We often see the difficult progress of some great mass of common interest, but more often we see the infinite tension of tiny forces which, out of what seems insignificant, produce something vast; , and another immediately takes its place.
