Jan. 6th, 2005 04:42 pm...And God said to the Man,
"Evil hath been thy life, and with evil didst thou requite good, and with wrongdoing kindness. The hands that fed thee thou didst wound, and the breasts that gave thee suck thou didst despise. He who came to thee with water went away thirsting, and the outlawed men who hid thee in their tents at night thou didst betray before dawn. Thine enemy who spared thee thou didst snare in an ambush and the friend who walked with thee thou didst sell for a price, and to those who brought thee Love thou didst ever give Lust in thy turn."
And the Man made answer and said, "Even so did I."
And God closed the Book of the Life of the Man, and said, "Surely I will send thee into Hell. Even into Hell will I send thee."
And the Man cried out, "Thou canst not."
And God said to the Man, "Wherefore can I not send thee to Hell, and for what reason?"
"Because in Hell have I always lived," answered the Man.
And there was silence in the House of Judgment.
