You see, Sir, We all need someone to kiss us goodbye...

坚守道德底线，有时可能会遭受短暂的冷落；可那些依附权势利欲熏心的人，搞不好会万古凄凉。真正通达明理的人，不会囿于物质本身，而更在意身后的名誉。所以他们宁愿承受一时的冷落，也不愿遭受永久的凄凉。

The end of history will be a very sad time. The struggle for recognition, the willingness to risk one's life for a purely abstract goal, the worldwide ideological struggle that called forth daring, courage, imagination, and idealism, will be replaced by economic calculation, the endless solving of technical problems, environmental concerns, and the satisfaction of sophisticated consumer demands.
