You will find it safer and easier if you do.
"But they are not proper persons to meet--I've heard awful things about them." Those stories come from people who never really knew them. They have been much maligned I assure you. Let me tell you a little about them before they come up. The World yonder is really an excellent fellow, but sulky and erratic because he's not well used. Think of a beautiful, fruitful, home garden used for nothing but to play ball and fight in--and then blamed for its condition. That's the way he feels. Then there's the Flesh. Never was a good fellow more abused! He's been brought up wrong, from babyhood--but he's all right inside. As to the Devil--we really ought to be ashamed of treating him so. He'd have died centuries ago, but we will keep him going--and then blame him because his behavior's out of date! Here they come. Allow me to present: The World--Just Us; We and our Workshop. The Flesh--Just Us; Our Natural Vehicle and Servant. The Devil--Just Us; but an Anachronism--an artificially preserved Extinct Ancestor! |
