I do not believe that civilizations have to die because civilization is not an organism. It is a product of wills.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder.
A civilization which has taken over the world cannot be said to be dying.
If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace.
When civilizations collide, it usually isn't the more primitive one that prevails.
But it is a law of life and development in history where two national civilizations meet they fight for ascendancy.
A civilization is destroyed only when its gods are destroyed.
We cannot live by power, and a culture that seeks to live by it becomes brutal and sterile. But we can die without it.
We believe that civilization has been created under the pressure of the exigencies of life at the cost of satisfaction of the instincts.
The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization.
Nature creates while destroying, and doesn't care whether it creates or destroys as long as life isn't extinguished, as long as death doesn't lose its rights.
