between the “look in their eyes”and the question of the meaning of

of Civilization. It isn’t civilized. It contains madness and aggression. It
is the look of selfishness and desire. The “Want” is unsatisfiable. No matter
how much the human male acquires of earthly gain: how much money, how many
possessions, how many beautiful women… no matter the profit at the expense of
others… the Want will take, the Want will kill…. the Want is something
unknown that comes from beyond the individual man… it is infinitely
unsatisfiable…
