s'oublier soi-même

"Equal hearts, in unanimous agreement, burned without shame and damned without crime. But, into the world arrived Interest; equality suddenly disappears, ambition raises it's foul head.

Was it necessary, Heaven, in your rigor, to captivate man, and leave him a heart?"

Imagine criticizing a system that denatures humanity, dying, and becoming what you feared most.
