So, what's It About Man?

“I suppose we all have our little hiding-hole if the truth was known, but as small as it is, the whole world is in it, and bit by bit grows on us again till the day You find us out.”
The monks show what happens when their secret passions are hidden from each other. The passions grow and grow and soon they rule our day. This story tells much more than this, but the moral is one about authenticity between believers.
