Countries are created by adults and destroyed by children, and that's the normal stage of progress. The metaphorical adults, or the great souls, are experienced, self-directed and inspired by a vision of the great future. They know where they want to get and how to get there. The metaphorical children, or the young souls, live in the dark, clueless about what they are here for, so they chase minute distractions and learn by mistakes. However those mistakes is the only way to grow up.
