Preface

It builds up civilizations just as it destroys them, drives legions into their dooms, as it brings them back into salvation … What is the name of god?

The man has nothing left, but its humanity. It is the idea of goodness … What is compassion?

When the revenge flows through our hearts, when death and torment loom, it is the panacea, the paradise … What is mercy?

Indeed, this is the universal and the eternal that we seek and are grateful for, as humans, as citizens … and as cosmologists.
