619. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE IN THE BODY AND LIFE AFTER THE BODY Life in the body is different from what it is afterwards; for in the body men can do good from any worldly cause whatever to those who are enemies, and to those whom they hate, for they are governed by a variety of worldly ends and loves. Thus they can simulate and call themselves friends, when nevertheless they are enemies. But not so in the other life where everyone acts from his acquired nature. He who hates, continues to hate until the hatred is abolished by modes of devastation. But if it is otherwise, or if they want to simulate as in the life of the body, it is at once known, and indeed manifestly.
