My
Dear Wormwood.
In
your last letter you speak of nothing but enjoying the fruits of your work.
Fool! Do not let your guard down yet! How many souls have slipped through the
fingers of young tempters because they had not kept their head after an initial
promising success? Have you already forgotten your training on human pleasure
and pain at the college? You must see to it he experiences neither.
In
the first place we don’t want the vermin to be happy, as this is what the Enemy
desires. He has a bourgeois mind Wormwood, He has filled His world full of
pleasures. There are things for humans to do all day long without His minding
in the least—sleeping, washing, eating, drinking, making love, playing,
praying, working, Everything has to be twisted before it's any use to us. We
fight under cruel disadvantages. Nothing is naturally on our side.
In
the second place suffering has a way of bringing clarity to a human mind, which
means under no circumstances are you to let your patient experience real
suffering. The safest road to our father’s house is the one without milestones or
markers, the gradual, broad road of assurance—and there is no greater alarm bell
than suffering. If your patient believes he is struggling on behalf of those
who are oppressed by society and sharing their burden, while at the same time living
a life of indulgence and sloth, then he will count his false suffering as genuine
and you will win your man. If at any point however he has to endure real suffering
that cannot be cured with medicine he may repent and we will lose him.
Neither
pain nor pleasure Wormwood. It is difficult, but thanks to decades of materialism
we have taught the humans who have never suffered to fear suffering as the
greatest evil, and at the same time ignore others who are very near to them and
suffering deeply, so it is possible. And when combined with the fashion of
intersectionality we can induce immorality unimagined 80 years ago. We make
parents sacrifice to give their children luxury and privilege, then make the
children viciously denounce them to the watching world since growing up without
privilege gives them credibility and popularity. Thus they betray the love and
devotion of their family for strangers, while still taking their parents money
and affection for granted. And why does this work? Because the pleasure of
having affirmation online is no real pleasure at all, and the pain of betraying
parents is muted by the child not having to pay the price of alienation.
Do
you see how this works? Your patients pleasure should come from performing the habits we’ve
trained into him—since that gives no real pleasure at all—and his pain should
come from his imagined suffering he identifies with. Every moment you keep that
up is a moment he grows closer to us without realizing it.
Your
Affectionate Uncle,
