Of course, there is no answer to the questions that they ask themselves. They do not know the future, but what it will be, depends largely on their choice. As a result while their thoughts are spinning in the void, we have the best opportunity to slip in and incline them to the actions that are desirable for us. Huge work has been done. Once they knew that some changes are for the better, others are for the worse, and others are indifferent. We greatly distorted it. We replaced the descriptive characterization of “unchanged” with the emotional word “stagnation.”
