Contemporary man and the social problem (2)

The actual human problem

The world problem that occupies peoples' minds now, affecting the heart of their present existence, is the social-problem which can be summarized by giving the most frank answer to following question:
What is the system that befits humanity, the one whereby humanity achieves a happy social life?
Naturally, this problem occupies a prominent and dangerous position.
In its complexity and diversity of suggested resolutions it poses as a source of danger to humanity itself, for system is included in the calculation of the human life, affecting the core of its social entity.
This problem is deeply rooted in the distant epochs of the history of the human existence.
Man faced it ever since it had sprung up in his social life.
The human social entity sprung up from several individuals tied to each other by common bonds and ties.
These bonds, naturally, need general directions and organization.
Indeed, it is upon the extent of the harmony between this system and the existing human reality and its benefit that both social stability and happiness depend.
