Unchanging 
@ Idealists are disappointed when life fails to develop 
as they expected. The disappointment comes from 
expecting a utopia, a condition contrary to human 
nature. Human nature really changes little through 
the centuries. It has good spells and bad relapses. 
Environments and living conditions change, - but 
man continues to make approximately the same mis- 
takes that history has recorded again and again. He 
tends to be self-centered, suspicious, and fickle despite 
intermittent good intentions. 
Wise leaders are succeeded by evil or ignorant 
ones. Formal education is no insurance against mis- 
takes. Even educators may be misled and lack common 
sense. Real moral reform is slow.
