ME: Well, I'm afraid we may only appear to agree and, if we once enter into a discussion of the dangers and the difficulties which need to be avoided, we won't agree any more. HIM: And what's the problem with that? ME WELL I'M AFRAID WE MAY ONLY APPEAR TO AGREE AND IF WE ONCE ENTER INTO A DISCUSSION OF THE DANGERS AND DIFFICULTIES WHICH NEED TO BE AVOIDED WE WON'T AGREE ANY MORE HIM AND WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH THAT
is frame of mind. One has to acquire it, because it's not natural. ME: Not natural to men? HIM: No, not to men. Everything living, including human beings, seeks benefits for itself at the expense of whoever they belong to. And I'm sure that if I left the little savage to go his own way, without speaking to him about anything, he'd want to be richly clothed, splendidly fed, liked by men, and adored by women, and would like to gather round him all the fine things of life. ME: If the little savage were left to himself so that he retained all his imbecility, uniting the little reason possessed by a child in the cradle with the passionate violence in a man thirty years old, he'd wring his father's neck and sleep with his mother. HIM: That proves the need for a good education. Who'll argue about that? And what's a fine education if not one which leads to all sorts of pleasures, without danger and without inconvenience? ME: I almost share you opinion, but let's not explore that. HIM: Why not? VERY ODD WE AREN'T BORN WITH THIS FRAME OF MIND ONE HAS TO ACQUIRE IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT NATURAL ME NOT NATURAL TO MEN HIM NO NOT TO MEN EVERYTHING LIVING INCLUDING HUMAN BEINGS SEEKS BENEFITS FOR ITSELF AT THE EXPENSE OF WHOEVER THEY BELONG TO AND I'M SURE THAT IF I LEFT THE LITTLE SAVAGE TO GO HIS OWN WAY WITHOUT SPEAKING TO HIM ABOUT ANYTHING HE'D WANT TO BE RICHLY CLOTHED SPLENDIDLY FED LIKED BY MEN AND ADORED BY WOMEN AND WOULD LIKE TO GATHER ROUND HIM ALL THE FINE THINGS OF LIFE ME IF THE LITTLE SAVAGE WERE LEFT TO HIMSELF SO THAT HE RETAINED ALL HIS IMBECILITY UNITING THE LITTLE REASON POSSESSED BY A CHILD IN THE CRADLE WITH THE PASSIONATE VIOLENCE IN A MAN THIRTY YEARS OLD HE'D WRING HIS FATHER'S NECK AND SLEEP WITH HIS MOTHER HIM THAT PROVES THE NEED FOR A GOOD EDUCATION WHO'LL ARGUE ABOUT THAT AND WHAT'S A FINE EDUCATION IF NOT ONE WHICH LEADS TO ALL SORTS OF PLEASURES WITHOUT DANGER AND WITHOUT INCONVENIENCE ME I ALMOST SHARE YOUR OPINION BUT LET'S NOT EXPLORE THAT HIM WHY NOT
