Laws are not enforced.
Rules are not followed.
Mankind cannot be driven to virtue by using a whip.
Yet again and again, I see myself opening my grasp of the brick and again and again, I keep closing it.
It is not by example that they will seek virtue.
They will follow so long as it remains self-serving.
It is not by dialog or reason that they may be reached and understand this is the ideal way.
How must we go about it this time?
And yet again I know I am to soon permanently release my grip and give unto she who is willing to take it, the silver brick, which is inscribed with the number 50.
