A Silent Co-Conspirator
Life is pain, life is fear, and man is unhappy. Now all is pain and fear. Now man lives life because he loves pain and fear. That's how they've made it. Life now is given in exchange for pain and fear, and that is the whole deceit. Man now is not yet the right man. There will be a new man, happy and proud. He for whom it makes no difference whether he lives or does not live, he will be the new man. He who overcomes pain and fear will himself be God. And this God will not be. (Fyodor Dostoeyvsky, Demons, 115)
