Excerpt from Sports That Kill
Laughs louder or more than I do. But for the sports and recreations of life I should have been dead long ago. God has done every thing to please and amuse us. In poetic figure we sometimes speak of natu ral Objects as being in pain, but it is a mere fancy. Poets say the clouds weep, but they never yet shed a tear; and that the winds sigh, but they never did have any trouble; and that the storm howls, but it never lost its temper. The world is a rose, and the universe a garland. When there are so many inno cent things to please and recreate, let us keep Off dangerous territory.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book addresses the cultural and moral concerns raised by the live theatre and its impact on society. Drawing on historical and literary references, the author demonstrates that most theaters, past and present, have been linked to immorality and dissipation, creating an environment antithetical to spiritual and social well-being. The author further argues that theatre, as it currently exists, is particularly detrimental to the development of youth, promoting distorted views of life and human nature. However, the author acknowledges the potential of theatre as a force for good and advocates for its reform, cleansing it of the harmful influences that have tainted its reputation throughout history.
