>>111014Illness and death are divine, because they’re principles of decay. That is part of the generality of glory. We’re all going to die. We’re all going to suffer. Nietzsche once said that sympathy multiplies misery.
Some are born hale and hearty; some are going to be spiritually strong, smoke three packs of Capstan Full Strength, and die in their bed at 90. Others don’t have eyes and don’t have legs and are born misshapen and diseased and malformed. And yes, it’s a tragedy, but nature spews out life, all the time, and some are destroyed, and others move towards the sun.
This is really what our people believe, or at least feel instinctively.
