<blockquote><font size=+1><tt>
Man's fundamentally false idea of creation and of himself is to<br>
the effect that God or Creation placed in an imperfect world a<br>
miserable stupid creature which was intended, after a million<br>
years of wars and pain and by means of more and more work,<br>
laboriously to achieve progress whereby the imperfection of the<br>
world was to be ended and a state of bliss finally attained.
