More From Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Unhappy spirits that fell with lucifer, / conspired against our god with lucifer, / and are for ever damned with lucifer.

But though every created thing is, in this sense, a mystery, the word mystery cannot be applied to moral truth, any more than obscurity can be applied to light. ... mystery is the antagonist of truth. it is a fog of human invention, that obscures truth, and represents it in distortion. truth never envelops itself in mystery, and the mystery in which it is at any time enveloped is the work of its antagonist, and never of itself.

The answer is never the answer. what's really interesting is the mystery. if you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. i've never seen anybody really find the answer, but they think they have. so they stop thinking. but the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. the need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.

Every animal has his or her story, his or her thoughts, daydreams, and interests. all feel joy and love, pain and fear, as we now know beyond any shadow of a doubt. all deserve that the human animal afford them the respect of being cared for with great consideration for those interests or left in peace.
