When a madman attacks you, the question to be settled is wheter he is ungrateful. In other words is he a ‘persona non grata’. Some are grateful for small mercies. If the Almighty isn’t mad why did He create Satan. It’s impossible to spend an ‘Eternity’ without going mad. What must be borne in mind is that ALL are MAD to a greater or lesser degree. Isn’t Sanity a specialised form of madness. In this world who is truly mad. What matters is the state of your heart. That’s why you are judged for the ‘HEART’ with which an act is done. QED.
