“The Gland of Mercy. In the real world, it forms a balance and an expectancy of the day-to-day existence of death. This is the Mercy that God has given us, and as long as this epic tableau continues, humankind will be protected from facing the horror and numbing reality of the pointlessness of life, and therefore the futility of faith and the belief in the Almighty.”
