The Problem of Evil

It is precisely that men are not good
That is why there is evil.
There is nothing which says life must be suffered
Except the human proclivity to cause suffering.
The man who says, "There is so much good in humanity,"
Does not actually know humanity.
If he did, he would say something quite different
Especially if for his whole life he were on the receiving end
Of the general populace's cruelty.
