| | Essay IX - Man and His Destiny |
 | | Finally, there is the urge towards self-reproduction: a man feels deep within him that alone he is incomplete: it is not “good” for man to be alone: he requires a mate, and the natural result of this association of two lives is a child, and a home. |
 | | Thus, you behold man standing up on the surface of the earth and striding over it, hunting its beasts and living on their flesh and on the plants, and increasing thus his bones and blood and his muscles. |
 | | We have, so far, considered Man as it were in himself, examining the constituents of nature, albeit these displayed themselves forthwith as tending to this or that (truth, good, social life, etc.) We are now able to think of him as it were from God’s end, and thus to perceive more clearly man’s destiny. |
