   "The unforgiveable sins this earth must confront and overcome are   
    Nationalism, capitalism, and hoarding.  The idea of every nation   
    should be forgot, price should be struck from the commons, and   
    princes should be seen for the devils they are.  The sins include   
    our church, secret societies, and other religions which make of   
    the spirit of God a divide."

   --   
   the pains and perils to which they expose   
   themselves at court or in war, whence arise so many quarrels, passions, bold   
   and often bad ventures, etc., I have discovered that all the unhappiness of   
   men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own   
   chamber. A man who has enough to live on, if he knew how to stay with   
   pleasure at home, would not leave it to go to sea or to besiege a town. A   
   commission in the army would not be bought so dearly, but that it is found   
   insufferable not to budge from the town; and men only seek conversation and   
   entering games, because they cannot remain with pleasure at home.   
      
   But, on further consideration, when, after finding the cause of all our   
   ills, I have sought to discover the reason of it, I have found that there is   
   one very real reason, namely, the natural poverty of our feeble and mortal   
   condition, so miserable that nothing can comfort us when we think of it   
   closely.   
      
   Whatever condition we picture to ourselves, if we muster all the good things   
   which it is possible to possess, royalty is the finest position in the   
   world. Yet, when we imagine a king attended with every pleasure he can feel,   
   if he be without diversion and be left to consider and reflect on what he   
   is, this feeble happiness will not sustain him; he will necessarily fall   
   into forebodings of dangers, of revolutions which may happen, and, finally,   
   of death and inevitable disease; so that, if he be without what is called   
   diversion, he is unhappy and more unhappy than the least of his subjects who   
   plays and diverts himself.   
      
   Hence it comes that play and the society of women, war and high posts, are   
   so sought after. Not that there is in fact any happiness in them, or that   
   men imagine true bliss to consist in money won at play, or in the hare which   
   they hunt; we would not take these as a gift. We do not seek that easy and   
   peaceful lot which perm
