The Supreme Value...

For man will assuredly pursue the supreme value, the Good, not only because there is no other way to free himself from his endless troubles but because he must.

All that is evil and bestial in him will slowly be burnt out whereas all that is benign and angelic will slowly be developed.

He will not have to live forever after death with what is foolish and sinful in his being but with what is wisest and noblest.

Only the worst in his nature shall die, as it ought to die.

Only the best shall live, as it ought to live.

This is the true immortality and this is the only one which awaits him.
