It was vain and unprofitable to attempt to balance one factor as against another in human experience. No one single factor in the complex of individual or social behavior can be designated as the factor of decisive quality.

To form such dogmas in their social connotation is nothing short of bigotry; yet perhaps it has its uses for the very attempt to do so proved the persistence of the human will and confutes the Marxists.
