"Such things were happening in the city that he began to miss his days at the tavern. It was a good thing he had worked there, shut himself away in the basement, and hadn't seen the misery people were falling into. The master of everything was the lust for power and money. People were caught up in an incomprehensible greed for money, and they were following it. Friends, even siblings, were fighting over money, willing to risk never seeing each other again. Love was bought and sold, and finding someone who truly loved you was becoming increasingly difficult. Status, money, and ostentation had completely engulfed humanity. People were moving away from the love of God. Evil had taken over. Happiness had been forgotten. People had begun to distrust each other, and worse, to envy each other. These things had always been part of the human experience, but they had never been so dominant. Especially for someone just beginning to understand people, these were terrible experiences. What was the point of wealth in a world where true friends could not be found? People had become slaves. They were constantly working. In return, they had nothing. They were incapable of even realizing this. Free slaves surrounded them. They worked all week, barely making ends meet, enriching others, neglecting their families, unable to care for their children, and they called this diligence, success. He had begun to seriously wonder if he was even human. Power struggles frequently erupted, and many lives had been sacrificed for this cause. Not a day went by without news of war breaking out somewhere. Every day, children of another nation were dying in another place. Diseases were on the rise. All services were disrupted. The religious feelings of the people were being exploited, and some were constantly lining their pockets this way. Not a day went by without new crimes being invented. Even children had become criminals. Trade was disrupted. No one trusted anyone anymore. Immoral acts were envied, glorified, and held up as examples. Everyone tried to protect themselves, hiring private guards for this purpose. Some people were constantly persuading the poor public. Nothing was legitimate in this new order. If things continued like this, in a few years, at most a few centuries, humanity would face disaster. If even someone as ignorant as him could see and understand all this, what worse things must educated people know? He despised himself. He was a murderer.

How small the world was, how pitiful people were, how incomprehensible God was, and how strange life was..."
