Salomon Ligthelm Instagram – Shower upon him (man) every earthly blessing, drown him in a sea of happiness so that nothing but bubbles of bliss can be seen on the surface. Give him economic prosperity such that he should have nothing else to do but sleep, eat cake and busy himself with the continuation of his species. And even then, out of sheer ingratitude. Man would play you some nasty trick, he would even risk his “cakes” and would deliberately desire the most fatal rubbish, the most uneconomical absurdity, simply to introduce into all this positive, good sense his fatal, fantastic element.
…then man would purposely go bad in order to be rid of reason and gain his point (meaning).
