While initially I found many passages of 'Profession of Faith of the Savoyard Vicar' engaging and enlightening, towards the end I really did see why the Catholics and Protestants blocked him in every avenue henceforward. I did lose the idea that it was a vicar professing his faith, rather than Rousseau expounding on his own; and while he admits to it, for narrative's sake, he didn't follow through on it.

"Mortals, will you never cease to calumniate nature? Why do you complain that life is short, since it is still not short enough for your taste? If there is a single one among you who knows how to temper his desires so that he never wishes for time to pass, he will not regard life as too short. To live and to enjoy will be the same thing for him, and even if he were to die young, he would die with full days."
