It is not difficultto imagine a world short of ambition. It would probably be a kinder world without demands, without abrasions, without disappointments. People would have timefor reflection. Such work as they did would not be for themselves but for the collectivity.Competition would never enter in. conflict would be eliminated, tension becomea thing of the past. The stress of creation would be at an end. Art would nolonger be troubling, but purely celebratory in its functions. Longevity would beincreased, for fewer people would die of heart attack or stroke caused bytumultuous endeavor. Anxiety would be extinct. Time would stretch on and on,with ambition long departed from the human heart.
