75: TWO KINDS OF TORMENT 265 |
|
Know that there are two kinds of torment: subtile and
gross. For example, ignorance itself is a torment, but it is a
subtile torment; indifference to God is itself a torment; so
also are falsehood, cruelty and treachery. All the imperfections
are torments, but they are subtile torments. Certainly
for an intelligent man death is better than sin, and a
cut tongue is better than lying or calumny.
