Imagine a very long time passing - and I find my way out, following someone who already knows how to leave Hell. And God says to me on Earth for the first time, "Xas!" in a tone of discovery, as if I'm a misplaced pair of spectacles or a stray dog. And he puts it to me that he wants me in Heaven. But Lucifer has doubled back - it was him I followed - to find me, where I am, in a forest, smitten, because the Lord has noticed me, and I'm overcome, as hopeless as your dog Josie whom you got rid of because she loved me.'

Nascemos num ambiente que vai preencher o pouco espa?o que sobra do que foi determinado geneticamente, um ambiente que, novamente, n?o escolhemos e sobre o qual mal temos controle, pelo menos durante nossos anos de forma??o. A maneira como somos e aquilo que fazemos s?o resultados de nossos genes e nosso ambiente, que, juntos, exercem em n?s uma influ?ncia que compreendemos de forma bastante nebulosa. Era isso que os fil?sofos existencialistas, com Jean-Paul Sartre, por exemplo, queriam dizer quando afirmavam que somos jogados no mundo.
If we were to select the most intelligent, imaginative, energetic, and emotionally stable third of mankind, all races would be present.
