Nature puts no question and answers none which we mortals ask. She has long ago taken her resolution. Henry David Thoreau

"Above all, do not lie to yourself. A man who lies to himself is often the first to
take offense. It sometimes feels very good to take offense, doesn't it?
And surely he knows that no one has offended him, and that he himself
has invented the offense and told lies just for the beauty of it, that
he has exaggerated for the sake of effect, that he has picked on a word
and made a mountain out of a pea- he knows all of that, and still he is
the first to take offense, he likes feeling offended, it gives him
great pleasure, and thus he reaches the point of real hostility... Do
get up from your knees and sit down, I beg you, these posturing are
false, too..."
Dostoevsky Excerpt from The Brothers Karamazov
