The author tries to find an answer to several questions. How is it possible that it is a man, blessed with intellect, who causes such a life crisis that can destroy him? How is it possible, that there were many crises before and this particular one is the most destructive? How is it possible, that today we live so hazardously that we could be annihilated by civilization diseases, improper operation of nuclear energy or genetic engineering that is not properly thought through? Do we move backwards in our development, do we regress?
