d and what is evil? Everything which comes from the many is good. Everything which comes from one is evil. This have we been taught with our first breath. We have broken the law, but we have never doubted it. Yet now, as we walk through the forest, we are learning to doubt. There is no life for men, save in useful toil for the good of all their brothers. But we lived not, when we toiled for our brothers, we were only weary. There is no joy for men, save the joy shared with all their brothers. But the only things which taught us joy were the power we created in our wires, and the Golden One. And both these joys belong to us alone, they come from us alone, they bear no relation to all our brothers, and they do not concern our brothers in any way. Thus do we wonder. There is some error, one frightful error, in the thinking of men. What is that error? We do not know, but the knowledge struggles within us, struggles to be born. Today, the Golden One stopped suddenly and said: “We love you.” S IS THE GREAT EVIL OF BEING ALONE THEN WHAT IS GOOD AND WHAT IS EVIL EVERYTHING WHICH COMES FROM THE MANY IS GOOD EVERYTHING WHICH COMES FROM ONE IS EVIL THUS WE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT WITH OUR FIRST BREATH WE HAVE BROKEN THE LAW BUT WE HAVE NEVER DOUBTED IT YET NOW AS WE WALK THE FOREST WE ARE LEARNING TO DOUBT THERE IS NO LIFE FOR MEN SAVE IN USEFUL TOIL FOR THE GOOD OF THEIR BROTHERS BUT WE LIVED NOT WHEN WE TOILED FOR OUR BROTHERS WE WERE ONLY WEARY THERE IS NO JOY FOR MEN SAVE THE JOY SHARED WITH ALL THEIR BROTHERS BUT THE ONLY THINGS WHICH TAUGHT US JOY WERE THE POWER CREATED IN OUR WIRES AND THE GOLDEN ONE AND BOTH THESE JOYS BELONGED TO US ALONE THEY CAME FROM US ALONE THEY BEAR NO RELATION TO OUR BROTHERS AND THEY DO NOT CONCERN OUR BROTHERS IN ANY WAY THUS DO WE WONDER THERE IS SOME ERROR ONE FRIGHTFUL ERROR IN THE THINKING OF MEN WHAT IS THAT ERROR WE DO NOT KNOW BUT THE KNOWLEDGE STRUGGLES WITHIN US STRUGGLES TO BE BORN TO DAY THE GOLDEN ONE STOPPED SUDDENLY AND SAID WE LOVE YOU
