“As surely as the tree becomes bulky when it stands alone, and slender if one of a group; as surely as the same creature assumes the different forms of cart-horse and racehorse, according as its habits demand strength or speed; as surely as a blacksmith’s arm grows large, and the skin of a laborer’s hand thick; as surely as the eye tends to become longsighted in the sailor, and short-sighted in the student; as surely as a clerk acquires rapidity in writing and calculation; as surely as the musician learns to detect an error of a semitone amidst what seems to others a very Babel of sounds; so surely must the things we call evil and immorality disappear; so surely must man become perfect.” - Herbert Spencer -
One day God will come and apologize to us.
