• At this very moment,... the most frightful horrors are taking place in every corner of the world. People are being crushed, slashed, disembowelled, mangled; their dead bodies rot and their eyes decay with the rest.

These are distressing facts; but do we enjoy life any the less because of them? Most certainly we do not.

  Aldous Huxley
