one last question

supposed odd Russell this film

were to be looked at by our descendants

like a dead sea scroll

in 1000 years time

what would you think it's worth telling that generation

about the life you've lived

and the lessons you've Learned from it

I should like to see 2 things

one intellectual and one moral

the intellectual thing I should want to say to them

is this

when you are studying any matter

or considering any philosophy

ask yourself only

what are the facts

and what is the truth that the facts bear out

never let yourself be diverted

either by what you would wish to believe

or by what you think would have beneficent

social effects if it were believed

but look only and surely at what are the facts

that is

the intellectual thing that I should wish to say

the moral thing I should wish to say to them

is very simple

I should say love is wise

hatred is foolish

in this world

which is getting more and more closely into connected

we have to learn to tolerate each other

we have to learn to put up with the fact

that some people say things that we don't like

we can only live together

in that way

and if we are to live together and not die together

learn the kind of charity and the kind of tolerance

which is absolutely vital

to the continuation of human life on this planet
