“Struggle, Vivekanda believed, was a human creation, not inherent in natural law. When a fire strikes a theater, he explained, 'only a few escape' in the crush. But, '[i]f all had gone out slowly, not one would have been hurt. That is the case in life. The doors are open for us, and we can all get out without the competition and struggle; and yet we struggle. The struggle we create through our own ignorance, through impatience; we are in too great a hurry.”
