If you had a dream in which someone broke into your house and stole a certain object,

would you upon waking and finding the item still there,
call the constable?

Not if you were in your right mind.
And whenever God wakes in us
His/our thinking becomes clear--
nothing is missing.

And how could He not forgive, then,
what never really
happened,

and/or what He caused?


The question is not, Can they reason? nor, Can they talk? but, Can they suffer?
~Jeremy Bentham
