Man wants to change the world and cannot do so. The world will punish him if he tries, just as gravity will operate upon his body no matter how light he thinks he is…. The world is indeed a tough place. But what man could make it tender?

Now this just SCREAMS health.  Just like those experimental jabs of chemical goo were for our health also.
