Life was brutal to you, old Melville! But this way or that way, what is the difference?

But we are wrong. Amongst us there are many such people, the difference lies only here--that those men of old did these things then in the name of God, and of His true service, whilst now those who commit the same evil amongst us do so in the name of "the people," "for the true service of the people."--_Leo Tolstoy._
