For God so made the World and saw it was Good.  It was Quality indeed, for
Quality is job one.  But the Devil said unto to God, "Your World does not
have Quality!  Quality has it!"  Of course, the Devil is always wrong
because he is the Devil, So to ensure that it had Quality, and not the other
way around, God created Man (and Woman) in the garden to tell the
difference.  Subjects and Objects did he make them as the lily's of the
field and the sheep of the valley to go forth and bestow upon things the
attribute of Quality.  "For you are my Subjects", sayeth He, "and forever
shall ye worship my Objectivity."

Now God knew that Quality really did have it and not the other way around,
but did not like this and chose to conceal it from his flock, so he put a
tree of knowledge in the garden to help them tell the difference, and told
the Man not to eat of it, knowing full well that the best way to get
somebody to do something is to tell them not to do it.  And thus it came to
pass that the man and the woman ate of the fruit of the tree of knowledge
and saw that it had Quality and not the other way around.  Of course, it was
the woman who was blamed-eth. 

Then it came to pass as it was revealed in a realization (the most important
thing you will ever make, after all, and as opposed to a revelation, which
is given-eth unto you and has not logic) that the World had Quality and not
the other way around, and it was denied-eth that Quality had the World.  For
the Man sayeth unto the Woman after eating of the tree of knowledge, "how
could the World be anything other than these objects and subjects that I
see-eth?  For surely I say unto you they have Quality and not the other way
around."  And the Woman gazed in adoration upon the (naked) man and sayeth
unto him, "go put your pants on."
