But socialism sees in the present bourgeois civilization, arrived at its decline, the sad symptoms of an irremediable dissolution, and it contends that it is necessary to rid the social organism of its infectious poison, and this not by ridding it of such or such a bankrupt, of such or such a corrupt official, of such or such a dishonest contractor ... but by going to the root of the evil, to the indisputable source of the virulent infection.
Therefore, for the irremediable sorrows of middle life and old age I recommend a strict chronic course of science and hard reasoning, counter-irritation. Bring the brain to act upon the heart! For the loss of fortune, the dose should be applied less directly to the understanding, I would administer something elegant and cordial.

He would rush madly at Fectnor, and he would be killed.
Relieved from my ever present sense of irremediable wretchedness, I gradually found that the ordinary incidents of life could again give me some pleasure; that I could again find enjoyment, not intense, but sufficient for cheerfulness, in sunshine and sky, in books, in conversation, in public affairs; and that there was, once more, excitement, though of a moderate kind, in exerting myself for my opinions, and for the public good.
