Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
100
On
the
subject
of
our
habits,
I
was
as
brief
as
he
would
permit
me
to
be,
and
took
especial
care
to
speak
only
of
the
habits
of
the
most
virtuous,
enlightened
and
truly
refined
people
of
our
external
world;
but
in
spite
of
my
caution,
he
extracted
much
from
me
which
filled
him
with
disgust
and
pity.
That
the
most
pure
of
our
people
should
be
afflicted
with
disease,
was
evidence
to
his
mind
that
we
were
a
contaminated
race,
descendants
of
a
degenerated
people.
Having
discovered
from
my
remarks,
that
we
ate
the
flesh
of
warm
blooded
animals,
prepared
in
many
forms
with
condiments
and
sauces
to
give
it
a
higher
relish,
and,
instead
of
confining
ourselves
to
the
pure
fluid
provided
by
nature
to
quench
our
thirst,
that
we
indulged
in
fermented
and
distilled
liquors
even
to
inebriation,
he
was
not
at
a
loss
for
the
cause
of
disease
and
misery,
and
was
only
surprised
that
such
things
were
permitted,
or,
being
permitted,
that
the
race
did
not
become
extinct.
Great
inequality
in
the
condition
of
our
people,
he
inferred
as
a
necessary
consequence
upon
the
indulgence
in
vice;
because,
while
a
virtuous
man
will
perform
so
much
of
useful
labour,
or
business
of
equal
utility
to
society,
as
a
matter
of
duty,
as
shall
amount
to
his
full
share
of
consumption
of
the
common
stock
of
value,
and
if
his
labours
be
blessed
with
abundance,
will
not
expend
the
surplus
above
his
wants
in
things
useless
and
pernicious
or
in
the
gratification
of
his
passions,
but
bestow
it
upon
the
meritorious
needy,
to
support
the
unfortunate,
or
in
useful
public
works,
the
vicious
man
is
rendered
averse
to
the
performance
of
his
duty,
and
becomes
wasteful
of
the
products
of
the
industry
of
others,
without
regarding
the
means,
whether
just
or
unjust,
by
which
he
may
possess
himself
of
them.
Therefore,
men
feeding
upon
animal
food
and
costly
drinks,
and
given
to
the
indulgence
of
inordinate
passions,
must
of
necessity
become
very
unequal
in
their
condition,
depraved
in
their
appetites,
and
miserable
in
proportion
to
their
aberrations
from
the
strictest
temperance,
virtue,
and
piety.
