Here's The Thing, For Me At Least:

Truth, Though, Is Nothing In The Face Of Self-falsehood, And Principles Are Of No Value If The Idealist Cannot Live Up To His Own Standards.

But What Of Faith? What Of Fidelity And Loyalty? Complete Trust? Faith Is Not Granted By Tangible Proof. It Comes From The Heart And The Soul. If A Person Needs Proof Of God's Existence, Then The Very Notion Of Spirituality Is Diminished Into Sensuality And We Have Reduced What Is Holy Into What Is Logical.-drizzt Do'urden

There Is One Other Error In The Gondsman's Line Of Resoning, I Believe, On Ap Urely Emotional Level. If Machines Replace Achievement, Then To What Will People Aspire? And Who Are We, Truly, Without Such Goals? Beware The Engineers Of Society, I Say, Who Would Make Everyone In All The World Equal. Opportunity Should Be Equal, Must Be Equal, But Achievement Must Remain Individual.

I Need No Fantasies To Belittle The Great Treasures That I Already Possess.

The Meekest Of Animals Will Fight Bravely When It Is Backed Against A Wall, For It Has Nothing Left To Lose. A Poor Man Is More Deadly Than A Rich Man Because He Puts Less Value On His Own Life.
