The Joy of the Earth

Zarathustra asks where the Earth feels most happy, and the Wise Lord answers: where the faithful man builds his house, tills his corn, waters the dry ground and drains the wet. He who sows corn sows holiness — farming itself is worship in Zarathustra's faith. And because the world runs on trust, the law of the given word follows: the six kinds of contract, the weight of an oath, and the penalties that fall on the man who breaks faith with another.
