Summary

This quote emphasizes the objection towards violence by pointing out its fleeting beneficence and permanent negative consequences. It suggests that although violence may seem to bring about positive outcomes in certain situations, any good achieved is short-lived. In contrast, the lasting impact of violence is the perpetuation of evil. Therefore, the quote asserts that violence should be rejected as a means for achieving lasting good, due to the long-lasting harm it inevitably causes.

Kawan-kawan semua, dimasa yang akan datang tidak boleh lagi

Kawan-kawan semua, dimasa yang akan datang tidak boleh lagi ada kegelapan, tidak juga desingan peluru. tidak ada lagi kebodohan yang begitu keji atau pertimpahan darah. Karena tak ada lagi setan, maka tak akan ada lagi malaikat. Di masa depan tidak boleh ada lagi manusia membantai sesamanya, bumi akan menjadi terang, umat manusia akan saling mencinta. akan tiba suatu hari ketika semuanya terasa damai, harmonis, terang benderang, menggembirakan dan begitu hidup. Hari itu akan datang dan itulah sebabnya mengapa kita akan menyongsong maut.

Progress is the life-style of man. The general life of the human race is called Progress, and so is its collective march. Progress advances, it makes the great human and earthly journey towards what is heavenly and divine; it has its pauses, when it rallies the stragglers, its stopping places when it meditates, contemplating some new and splendid promised land that has suddenly appeared on its horizon. It has its nights of slumber; and it is one of the poignant anxieties of the thinker to see the human spirit lost in shadow, and to grope in the darkness without being able to awake sleeping progress.
