- The desire of every person in the world is to possess all he wants, whether it belongs to him or to anybody else.
- He wants all things to last if they are of any use to him;
- he wants all those dear and near to him to abide close to him.
- All he doesn't wish to see must be exiled from the town.
- Even the whole of nature must work to suit him:
- the cold must not be more than he wants;
- the heat must not exceed his desire;
- the rain must obey him;
- pain must not approach.
- There must not be anything difficult in life, and
- all things and people must be perfect in the perfection of God.
- Everybody must act in life as he wishes them to;
- he alone must be the engineer and all others his machines.
- They must have all the endurance he demands of them, and
- at the same time all must be as sensitive as he wants them to be.
- No one should move against his desire,
- no bird must fly in the sky, nor even a leaf make a flutter except by his command;
- he alone must live and all others must live under him.
