Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Talk With Shaye´s Brother-in-Law To all appearance ´tis a bottomless abyss in which we are sinking; or if it have any bottom at all, we are not likely to touch it until the country has been thoroughly ruined. I. That is truly an ultra pessimistic view of the situation. Do you think the case past help? or to put the question in a little different way, is the evil of these hard times such a one as must be left to cure itself? He. Bad as the case is, I think help is to be had for it. I. Where is this possible help to be looked for? He. We must look to ourselves for it. If we make the right effort to get it, Heaven will send it This evil under which we are groaning, this difficulty, this distress, this embarassment, this obstruction, this stagnation, this paralysis, all this, in short, which we call the hard times, while it presents itself on every hand as a terribly real objective fact, has the chief roots of its continuance in our subjectiveness. The panic (that´s the name by which we know it best, and we are now, more than ever, having the genuine thing), is prolonging its prevalence upon the support which it obtains in the delusions of our minds, and in our defect of courage. I. For one thing, you would then recommend "bracing up?" He. Aye, that would I. We are permitting and encouraging our disorder to overcome us, by succumbing to it. We are behaving much as would a man who, being attacked by some acute disease which a resolute opposition would enable him to subdue and throw off, should immediately take to his bed, make his will, send for his doctor but merely to dismiss him again as likely to do no good - and refusing all medicine, resign himself with deliberate desperation to the anticipation of a speedy dissolution. If a man in that case would order his horse, go himself to his physician for treatment, or throwing "physic to the dogs," take air and exercise with a resolute determination to get well, his chances of recovery would be infinitely multiplied. Do you remember Rodin in "The Wandering Jew," who "underwent and overcame" a violent attack of the Asiatic Cholera by the simple force of an invincible resolve to live.
