They talk on about death, about boredom, they drink wine, they laugh, they have a good time, they are happy. - Milan Kundera

All predictions are wrong, that's one of the few certainties granted to mankind.

!Do you realise what is the eternal precondition of tragedy? The existence of ideals which are considered more valuable than human life. [...] Thy drive you to your death because presumably there is something greater than your life. War can only exist in a world of tragedy. [...] The age of tragedy can be ended any by the revolt of frivolity. [...] Frivolity is a radical diet for weight-reduction. things will lose ninety percent of their meaning and will become light. In such a weightless environment fanaticism will disappear. War will become impossible.
