"Discord is inveterate in human life because Man is.. at one and the same time a social animal and an animal endowed with free will. The combination of these two elements means that.. there will be perpetual conflict of wills, and this conflict will be carried to suicidal extremity unless Man experiences the miracle of conversion... the unity of Mankind... can be achieved only as an incidental result of acting on a belief in the unity of God and by seeing this unitary terrestrial society as a province of God's Commonwealth..." (Arnold Toynbee- Study of History)
(25:4)
