Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Seven Ages of Man Why did I write this? Well, it must be recognized that we live in a world where vices are nurtured, and virtues are tabooed. Is it better to overlook men´s vices, and condone them? or to look over them, and condemn them? When it is almost regarded as a sign of lunacy, where a person strives to be as good and true as nature intended him to be, and expects him to be, there surely must be a good part to play as Fault-finder. Something is wrong: what is it? Somebody is wrong: is it you? Do you think it is wicked to be good? Are you afraid to be good? or careful to be only sneakingly good? Do you say it is natural to be bad? Then I order you to become unnaturalized, and, curiously enough, you will pass as a good citizen, and what holy scripture calls a new creature. Is it proper to get angry with the mirror that shows off the rugosities and warts on your character? No, indeed. Give your energies to the removal of such disfigurements. Now then, get busy with yourself. Don´t worry about my work; it speaks for itself assuredly, and it cares nothing for foot-lights or footlickers.
