792. Why does civilization not produce all the good it can produce?
“Because human beings are not yet ready or willing to obtain that good.”

“Yes, and because a spirit’s faculties do not progress at the same rate, everything takes time. You cannot expect perfect fruit from an incomplete civilization.” (See nos. 751-780)
