The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Secret Places of the Heart by H. G. Wells: course we want happiness. Just as we want food, just as we
want sleep. But when we have eaten, when we have slept, when
we have jolly things about us--it is nothing. We have been
made an exception of--and got our rations. The big thing
confronts us still. It is vast, I agree, but vast as it is it
is the thing we have to think about. I do not know why it
should be so, but I am compelled by something in my nature to
want to serve this idea of a new age for mankind. I want it
as my culminating want. I want a world in order, a
disciplined mankind going on to greater things. Don't you?"
"Now you tell me of it," she said with a smile, "I do."
