    Will this coming storm be [a] death-struggle or the birth-pangs of a new and better age?

            My point is that saying: “You have to have a storm if you want flowers” or “You have to break a few eggs to make an omelete” or “We must burn the old grass so that new grass can grow” are all just other ways of saying that “the ends justify the means” and have been used by people throughout history to justify whatever horrible thing they wanted to do.
