---

We are part of a process whose course and outcome are alike determined by the will of Heaven. In that sense the vaunted freedom of man is a mere chimera. But within those limits there are always two or more possibilities open to him and there lies his free choice. The philosopher and the fool have been flung upon this star; both must walk the same course and arrive at the same goal. Yet each may do so in his own individual way, may proceed more circuitously or more slowly or more swiftly as his inclinations decide.
