My God, why are there so many useless and unmerited sufferings upon the earth? Why do some die of hunger while others have all the joys of riches and all the splendors of luxury? Why are some born blind, others deaf‐mutes, others lepers, others paralytics? Why are innocent beings tortured their whole life through by hideous sores? Why are there mothers who kill their infants and sons who murder their fathers? Why was this furor of voluptuousness inflamed in our veins, which arouses our blood and tortures us even more than it elates us, and which, under the deceptive name of love, multiplies crimes among men? (Charles Perraud, Meditations on the Seven Words of Our Lord on the Cross, 1890)
