41.Much is right in the world, but also much is wrong. This book is mostly concermed with what is wrong. It is not a book of criticism and condemnation. It is one of explanation, optimism and hope. It promotes the doctrine that we, as individuals, can save our world.

That has been true in the past, and although the pattem may change at any time, it will presumably be true in the future. So it is clear that nature is not the culprit (罪魁祸首). Most of everyone's sffering is caused by people. There is no use dodging that basic fact.
