Nicely worded, isn’t it?
By all means,
but it is on the same level as Kantian theorisations.
Of course, the substance of the quotation in itself is true, but the true substance of a quotation is not enough
_for_
first of all you need
- real democracy
(__not a surficial one__)
to put the meaning of the quotation into practice.
However,
this requires
- enlightenment of the people and
that again requires a
- substantive basis,
- education and
- real chances for societal participation for all and everybody
_and_
- an economy in line with such a society
_and_
- fair, just, unbiased rules
connected with a
- fair, just, unbiased system of justice
_and_
- transparency on all political levels
_and_
last but not least
- media whose task is to really inform the people.
Under these requirements a real personality can develop and,
_then_
each every one of us has both the chance and the responsibility to live and behave well in the present which
_inevitably_
will result in a bright future.
Otherwise this fine quotation is nothing but smoke and mirrors …
Therefore, by all means, read …
