Because we are afraid of life, we seek to control or master it.
We believe it is bad or dangerous to be carried away by our emotions. We admire the person who is cool, who acts without feeling.
The modern individual is committed to being successful, not to being a person. He belongs rightly to the 'action generation' whose motto is 'do more but feel less.'
