I still do not understand, however, why earlier Ruburt whispered and why these long serious faces as we sit about the table. You must not project your own feelings at this point upon others. The dead are not long-faced. Why should they come into such a long-faced sober group?

I will not again, since I have put Ruburt through so much this week, I will not speak loudly. There was another point, however, that I wanted to make, and I have spoken to you many times to get this simple point across, and yet by your actions this evening, all of you then, I can see that I have not put that point across. I will mention it again.

All, all–life is full of vitality, and all life is joyful, and sitting around the table with long faces is not any more beneficial than sitting around the table with wine on it and the lights lit. My vitality is here, and it was not drawn here by long faces nor by sorrow. Vitality grows as it triumphs over sorrows and in any of my antics, as with the suddenly exploding light, there is also a purpose. And the purpose in that point was to let you see that the human individual reaction of a given personality continues. Only those very sure of their reality can afford to take pleasure in small things and to enjoy them.
