Since time immemorial, humankind has been born, lived, worked, and struggled to realize its beliefs, passions, and ideals. The struggle for life without beliefs, ideals, and passion would be far too difficult. Human life would lack meaning, like that of an animal.
"Political struggle only makes sense if it is guided by an educated will and an enlightened mind, that is, a will that knows how to master passion and a mind that understands the goal of political struggle and its means."
— Ivan Ilyin
