By what right can anyone say 'This is mine, mine only'?
Man is not consulted before he is formed if he wishes to burst forth into life.

He is born--and from the fact of being born he has a right to well-being." Gabriel proclaimed his supreme formula, "Everything for everyone, and well-being for all." His friends listened in profound silence.

The right to well-being sank profoundly into their minds; it was the saying that most cruelly touched their poverty, taunted by the contrast of the wealth of the Church.
Don Martin, the young chaplain, was the only one who timidly raised any objections to the master's sayings.

He wished to know if, when everything was for everyone, when man should have recognised his right to happiness, without laws or compulsion to force him to production--would he work?
seeing that work was a necessity, and not a virtue, as those who employ labour say, to glorify it.
Gabriel loudly affirmed the necessity of work in the future.

The man of the future would work without being forced to do so by his necessities; he would not be ruled by the body and its imperious requirements; his conscience would be inspired with the clear understanding of solidarity with his fellows and the certainty that if one abandoned social duties others would follow the example, thus rendering life in common impossible and so returning to the actual times of poverty and robbery.
"Why do not the few men of culture and sound conscience living at present kill and rob ?" exclaimed Gabriel.
