"Let's pretend that the earth is a large ocean liner like the Andrea Doria. The sea is stormy, water is coming in, the ship is at the mercy of the waves. While the tragedy risks taking place, and many people try to cling to the hull to avoid drowning, on the top floor there are those who continue to play and dance, regardless of what is happening on the floors below. If we don't intervene in time, sooner or later, even those high up risk ending up in the sea, everyone needs to lend a hand while waiting for help to arrive. (page 106)"
