skeptical towards ourselves, we also begin to wonder about the
intrinsic value of things and start to doubt whether we can ever
really achieve our highest ideals through our civilization. Therefore
we shouldn't consider ourselves to be so civilized and come down from
our spiritual level to the way of thinking of this Polynesian from the
Samoan islands, who is not as yet burdened down with an overdose of
education and who is still original in his feeling and thoughts, and
who wants to make us feel that we killed the Godlike essence of our
being and have replaced it with idols."
