5. If we cast a rapid glance over the world of today, we cannot but be astonished at the violent contrasts it offers us. It is a scene of light and darkness. On the one hand, we can assert that man has broken the chains that bound him to the earth. Today he has before him, within his very grasp, nothing less than unlimited and tempestuous space. Never before have we been able to repeat so appositely the words of the poet: "The stars are yours”. And yet the whole world, in every latitude and longitude, continues to suffer, from the cruel scourge of the most terrible and most rebellious of all the horsemen of the Apocalypse - war. Although people are more enlightened in their ideals and attitudes, now, as throughout history, armed conflicts, both national and international, spring from one basic cause — intolerance: religious intolerance, ideological intolerance, racial intolerance, in short, intolerance of the rights of others.
