Harry suffers the childrenThe law of random change
Chapter 18
It was always linevitable that I would come along,
2mAnd the way has been paved for my coming for many years,
3Which is why you should all be pathetically grateful that I am here,
4aBecause my way can save you a world of grief,
5And a lot of pain and suffering too.
6For truly I can tell you that there is no such thing as evil,
7Because evil cannot exist without a bGod who defines a difference between good and evil,
8Since without God, there is only nature,
9Meaning the way things are,
10And the way we are,
11Already,
12Without making a lot of changes in ourselves.
13Nature doesn’t require us to live up to anything,
14Any more than a sponge has to live up to anything,
15Or a snail,
16Or a pine cone.
17cAnd the really great news is that science and philosophy and psychology and literature and the arts have all converged on the same basic conclusions about life,
18Although they express them in slightly different terms,
19Which has probably made it harder for you to see the simple truth,
20Because it is so simple.
