The dead often quarrel among themselves because in a world as large as theirs someone has to be dominant. Fortunately they then immediately realize that they have no soul and allow themselves to be besieged by the conviction that it is pointless to quarrel from within such standard tranquility. This Biblical virtue stands there like a kind of Sky over their own World calm...in control and Holy like a Paradise at the summit of Hell which continues to govern them without being enraptured by the distant star of the Second Coming.
