THE AUTHOR OF "GRIM TRAGEDY"OF REAL LIFE CANNOT BE WISE OR BENEVOLENT:-
"All maladies,
of ghastly spasm,of racking torture,qualms,
of heart sick agony,all feverous kinds,
convulsions, epilepsy,fierce catarrh,
intestine stone and ulcer,colic pangs,
demoniac frenzy,moping melancholy,
and moon struck madness,pining atrophy,
marasmus and wide wasting pestilence,
dropsy and asthma and joint racking rheum's.
The moans and groans of all the sick patients at this moment would if collected and concentrated at an acoustic focus,swell into a roar of agony more thunderous than that of Niagra.Famine stalks as a specter across the pages of history; the 'father' does not seem to care for his hungry 'children'.Above all,vice and anti social instincts have been implanted deep in man's soul and we do our best now to eradicate them.If "god" loves virtue,why has he not made man wholly virtuous?Why has he burdened us with hatred,envy,gluttony,lust,sloth,pride,anger,avarice and other sins too heavy to be borne?Why has man to wade his way through blood to social peace?Why must he often eat his bread in tears?Why is history partly a record of folly,slavery,murder and strife?The author of such a grim tragedy of real life cannot be wise and benevolent."[Hints for self culture].
