The Human Condition
Human Condition
The human condition
is like a coin: one side
is Good, the other Evil.
Men have invested heavily
in this currency for centuries.
In fact, from its beginning,
and, if history is a fair judge,
Evil has been profitable,
exceeding all expectations.
In the bank of time
the interest it has accrued
has been disproportional
to the Good, and has proven
to be remarkably stable.
And given the evidence to date –
barring divine interference –
it’s not likely to depreciate.
