..(in the U.S.) it has been possible for people to live for seventy years without having been affected by the two world wars.. except for a few minor.. inconveniences. The cocoon is now no longer quite so strong. The breakdown in law and order, of public morality, the alienation of the young.. hang over every suburb.. (also) the futility of life that so many lead.. (13:3) Another variation on the escapist theme in the West.. is.. for young people to drop out of conventional society.. they have, to their credit, reduced their material needs.. Soon, however, troubles begin to occur.. living in a community without self-discipline and deep training leads to quarrels, the emergence of exploiters and a decline of self-respect..
(13:4)
