| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from Proposed Roads To Freedom by Bertrand Russell: competition and closes them against the advantages of
co-operation; it makes them regard with horror the
somewhat unfamiliar vices of the aliens, while our
own vices are viewed with mild toleration. I cannot
but think that, if Australia were completely socialized,
there would still remain the same popular objection
as at present to any large influx of Chinese or
Japanese labor. Yet if Japan also were to become a
Socialist State, the Japanese might well continue to
feel the pressure of population and the desire for an
outlet. In such circumstances, all the passions and

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from The Second Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling: he was at least flesh and blood.
"Son," she said at last,--her eyes were full of pride,--
"have any told thee that thou art beautiful beyond all men?"
"Hah?" said Mowgli, for naturally he had never heard anything of
the kind. Messua laughed softly and happily. The look in his
face was enough for her.
"I am the first, then? It is right, though it comes seldom,
that a mother should tell her son these good things. Thou art
very beautiful. Never have I looked upon such a man."
Mowgli twisted his head and tried to see over his own hard
shoulder, and Messua laughed again so long that Mowgli,

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Faraday as a Discoverer by John Tyndall: electricity, he had sought an experimental reply to the question
whether crystalline bodies had not different specific inductive
capacities in different directions, but he failed to establish any
difference of the kind. His first attempt to establish differences
of diamagnetic action in different directions through bismuth, was
also a failure; but he must have felt this to be a point of cardinal
importance, for he returned to the subject in 1850, and proved that
bismuth was repelled with different degrees of force in different
directions. It seemed as if the crystal were compounded of two
diamagnetic bodies of different strengths, the substance being more
strongly repelled across the magne-crystallic axis than along it.
