“Eleanor stayed with Franklin after his repeated infidelities, and yet toward the end of her life, she regretted it, and advised her children to choose differently. ‘Never for a minute would I advocate that people who no longer love each other should live together because it does not bring the right atmosphere into a home,’ she wrote.

“Nothing remains. The destruction is complete: love, lives, families, friends, cities, homes – all gone now. All our efforts to be good, to do the right thing, to act well, to be just and generous are now for naught. Because juxtaposed against any hope for fairness is wickedness, pure and simple. In some abstract formulation these things may exist in equal measure, which is to say that the scales balance when taking all things into consideration. But that is fantasy, the stuff of religion, hope beyond all reason. Because for those caught in the whirlwind, in the chaos of manifest evil, despair is all there is. Civilization falls away: everything is pointless now. Survival requires reciprocity. What then if there is none?”
