Imagine that you are creating a fabric of human destiny with the object of making men happy in the end, giving them peace and rest at last, but that it was essential and inevitable to torture to death only one tiny creature - that baby beating its breast with its fist, for instance - and to found that edifice on its unavenged tears: would you consent to be the architect on those conditions?

We are creators, and yet we naively play the role of "the created." We see ourselves as helpless sheep buffeted around by the God who made us.
