Now, please don't take this the wrong way. These essays are not numbered, but I highly recommend reading them loosely in order, as later essays will most likely assume things which have been discussed in previous essays. While ridiculing is bad, humor certainly isn't. It should be noted that in the interests of sounding good, those most things are to be taken metaphorically if it seems appropriate, and all universal statements that are not correct are not meant as universal statements, they were simply stated as such because universal statements sound better than they would if they were properly stated. For the same purpose, explanations and parenthetical addition will be bullet-ed under the aphorisms.
Charity means pardoning the unpardonable, or it is no virtue at all.
Hope means hoping when things are hopeless, or it is no virtue at all. And faith means believing the incredible, or it is no virtue at all. Your life has meaning and you will live forever. IF you get a better offer, take it. He doesn't even believe in the world, one can hardly expect him to believe in its creator.
