Quote by E.M. Delafield

“There is no unemployment in the Soviet Union; everybody can, and indeed must, work; and so far as I know, everybody does. As a kind of offset to this universal activity, everybody—when not working—sits about and waits.”

Appeals are then sent to Chief Justice Kawaley. Each case is met with consideration and commentary.

“Greg knew he was just one little speck in this gauntlet that every person both ran and worked to maintain. The system that, while striving to let no part of a human life which could feed it go to waste, in turn left the potential for greatness to lie fallow.

“In the Bgagavad Gita why should God ask us not to expect the results? Is He aware that the systems in nature, that is, the order of the world created by Him, do not have a fool proof provision for it? Then is it not a rational world ensuring justice to all the actions delivered by man? One wonders why God, the supreme creator of this universe, does not have a system in place for ensuring a matching reward for all our actions.”
