it has taken over this world and dominated their natures and has been confirmed by their bad habits and the prevalence of evil over good and the abundance of deceit malice and envy in hearts. you will not see anyone who escapes from it. either he looks with an eye of justice and fairness so he sees what is reprehensible and it appears in his face and tongue. or he looks with an eye of hatred and enmity so he often finds faults in his enemy that help him to fabricate lies against him so he strengthens them and increases them. and the absence of truth makes the good ugly and increases the ugliness of the ugly.
استحوذت على هذا العالم وغلبت على طبائعهم، وتوكدت لسوء العادة عندهم، ولعلو الشر على الخير، وكثرة الدغل والنغل والحسد في القلوب. فلست ترى منها ناجيا. إما ناظر بعين عدل وإنصاف، فهو يرى ما ينكر فيبدو في وجهه ولسانه. وإما ناظر بعين البغضاء والعداوة فهو كثيرا ما يجد من العيوب في عدوه ما يعينه على التخرص عليه فيقويها ويزيد فيها. وإن عدم الحق تقول وقبح الحسن، وزاد في قبح القبيح.
