Before, people had not realized the severity of the "sickness" of society, let alone that they were "sick" themselves. After the disaster of losing the national [[sovereignty]], they have learnt that they were "sick" thus the corresponding treatment could be initiated. The way for the future has been paved owing to comprehending their own egoism and vanity.<ref>{{cite book |title=Saint-Exupéry |author=Eric Deschodt |publisher=TATRAN |year=1987 (French original 1980) |pages=265, 319 |quote=Človek má strašnú chuť dolapiť toho, čo je zodpovedný za katastrofu...slabosť každého jednotlivca spôsobila spoločné nešťastie, ale v pochopení toho veľkého sebectva a márnomyseľnosti je začiatok cesty do budúcnosti.
