Symzonia: Voyage of Discovery
·
Captain Adam Seaborn
105
In
this
way,
and
by
frequent
interviews
with
the
Best
Man,
as
also
by
actual
observation,
I
ascertained
the
following,
among
numberless
other
interesting
facts:
That
the
fatal
sin
cupidity,
which
drove
our
first
parents
out
of
Paradise,
is
almost
wholly
unknown
to
the
pure
and
uncontaminated
Internals.
They
view
the
gifts
of
a
bountiful
Providence
as
an
abundant
supply
of
good
things
for
the
benefit
of
all,
and
sufficient
to
gratify
all
the
rational
wants
of
all
the
creatures
for
whom
they
are
provided.
They
admire
and
adore
the
beneficence
which
could
find
pleasure
in
creating
intelligent
beings,
and
in
providing
for
all
their
wants;
and
are
emulous
to
approximate
towards
the
spirit
of
love
and
goodness
to
which
they
are
indebted
for
all
their
blessings.
They
are
continually
striving
to
improve
themselves
in
this
respect,
by
unceasing
efforts
to
render
one
another,
and
all
creatures
within
the
sphere
of
their
influence,
happier
and
better;
instead
of
exerting
all
their
faculties,
like
the
Externals,
to
gain
advantages
over
their
fellow
men,
to
acquire
the
means
of
gratifying
the
worst
passions
of
their
nature,
or
to
advance
their
own
pleasures
by
rendering
others
miserable.
All
the
real
wants
of
men
in
society
are
provided
for
in
the
most
simple
and
natural
manner.
Usefulness
is
the
test
of
value.
That
artificial
wealth
which
exists
amongst
the
Externals,
and
depends
for
its
support
upon
their
capricious
passions,
has
no
place
with
the
Symzonians;
our
whole
list
of
fancy
articles,
all
our
ornaments,
every
description
of
things
which
are
only
calculated
to
gratify
pride
or
vanity,
are
considered
by
them
as
worse
than
useless.
They
wear
garments
because
they
defend
the
body,
and
are
necessary
to
decency;
but
it
never
occurred
to
their
simple
minds,
that
the
fairest
work
of
an
Infinite
Being
could
be
improved
by
trinkets
and
fripperies
of
man's
device.
Their
judgments
are
not
so
much
perverted,
nor
their
tastes
so
much
depraved.
Therefore,
having
ascertained
a
mode
of
providing
necessary
raiment
in
the
most
convenient
manner,
they
one
and
all
adopted
it,
and,
by
dressing
alike,
they
maintain
a
perfect
equality
in
their
wants
in
that
respect
