le fight to settle
quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some
way of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater
number of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed most has won. 3.
That is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age
has fought the two greatest wars in history, in which millions of people were killed.
And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets,
nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages.
But we must not expect too much. After all, the race of men has only just started.
From the point of view of evolution, human beings are very young children indeed,
babies, in fact, of a few months old. 4. These figures are difficult to grasp? so let
us scale them down. Suppose that we reckon the whole past of living creatures on the
earth as one hundred years
? then the whole past of man works out at about one month,
and during that month there have been civilizations for between seven and eight
hours.
5. Taking man’s civilized past at about seven or eight hours, we may
estimate his future at about one hundred thousand years. Thus mankind is only at the
beginning of its civilized life, and as I say, we must not expect too much. The past of
7
----------------------- Page 8-----------------------
man has been on the whole a pretty beastly business, a business of fighting and killing.
We must not expect even civilized peoples not to have done these things. All we can
ask is that they will sometimes have done something else.
[A] Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to
do it most efficiently– this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done
– is not being civilized.
[B] And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have
beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as
conquerors.
[C] We have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly in daily life.
However, every year conflicts between countries and nations are still claiming
thousands of lives.
[D] And not only has won, but, because it has won, has been in the right. For that is
what going to war means? it means saying that might is right.
[E] So you see there has been little time to learn in, but there will be oceans of time
in which to learn better.
[F] Scientists reckon that there has been life of some sort on the earth in the form of
jellyfish and that kind of creature for about twelve hundred million years? but
there have been men for only one million years, and there have been civilized
men for about eight thousand years at the outside.

6. Some people say that one’s success is determined by his personality. But I believe
that one can succeed regardless of the type of person he is. The key to success is, first
of all, to know yourself well and then find something you both like to do and are good
at doing. In that case you will most likely hold on to the thing without giving in to any
difficulties. If you stick to it without changing the direction, you will not be far away
from success.
