Manichaeism is Quite Wrong, You Know “…without God and immortal life? All things are lawful then….”                        -Ivan, The Brothers Karamazov If there are no boundaries, there is no freedom With nothing to push against, one’s strength must fail If God is not, then one can make no plaints And must take on a burden that can’t exist If man is never told no, there is no Yes For him to answer then against the no And if there is no Yes, there is nothing at all There is no dichotomy, only the Yes If there are no boundaries, there is no Yes And man must cease in silent nothingness

"Without God and Immortal Life?" Manichaeism is Quite Wrong, You Know
