The Axe at the Root of the Tree of False Pursuit

What else does this craving, and this helplessness, proclaim but that there was once in a man a true happiness, of which all that now remains is the empty print and trace? This he tries in vain to fill with everything around him, seeking in things that are not there the help he cannot find in those that are, though none can help, since this infinite abyss can be filled only with an infinite and immutable object; in other words, by God himself.

"God alone is man's true good.”

Pascal puts the axe at the root. Fell, great Woodsman!
