“The concept of 'reprehensible action' presents us with some difficult. Nothing in all that happens can be reprehensible in itself: one not dare to eliminate it completely for everything is so bound up with everything else, that to exclude one part would mean to exclude the whole. A reprehensible action, therefore, would mean a reprehensible world as a whole… If Becoming is a huge ring, everything that forms a part of it is of equal, is eternal and necessary. In all correlations of yes and no, of preference and rejection, love and hate, all that is expressed is a certain point of view, peculiar to the interests of a certain type of living organism: everything that lives says yes by the very fact of existence.”
