George Bernard Shaw
(1856-1950) |
There are some actions from which
an escape is a godsend, both for the man who escapes and for those about
him. Man, as soon as he gets back his consciousness of right, is thankful
to the Divine mercy for the escape. As we know that a man often succumbs
to temptation however much he may resist it, we also know that Providence
often intercedes and saves him in spite of himself.How all this happens, -
how far a man is free and how far a creature of cicumstance,- how far
free-will comes into play and where fate enters on the scene - all this is
a mystery and will remain mystery.
