Excerpt from The Nervous Life
Adapt ourselves to the demands of the ideals? Whatever society as a whole, through its lead ers, may do, it is certainly true that few of us can modify to any great extent the course of these movements in civilisation, if they can be changed at all. But everyone can at least try to understand the meaning of the stress of modern life, and determine in part his own place. He can study his own forces, estimate the dangers to be run, and the values at stake, and make provision for his own welfare. This is the personal or individual problem which everyone must in some way solve, unless life is to be lived at random.
