We are going forward!” It is a pleasant and dramatic spectacle, that of Mankind divided to its very depths into two irrevocably opposed camps - one looking toward the future and proclaiming with all its newfound faith, “We are moving!” and the other without shifting its position obstinately maintaining, “Nothing changes. We are not moving at all.”
