Infinite Perfection and Beauty

Indeed, man loves firstly himself, then his relations, then his nation, then living creatures, then the universe, and the world.

He is connected with all these spheres. He may receive pleasure at their pleasure and pain at their pain. However, since nothing is stable in this world of upheavals and revolutions swift as the wind, man’s wretched heart is constantly wounded. The things his hands cling onto tear at them as they depart, even severing them. He remains in perpetual distress, or else plunges into heedless drunkenness.

Infinite Perfection and Beauty

Otherwise, while being a delicious bounty, it becomes a grievous affliction.
