A Double Misery

Luther: 
Scripture represents man as one who is not only bound, wretched, captive, sick, and dead, but in addition to his other miseries is afflicted, through the agency of Satan his prince, with this misery of blindness, so that he believes himself to be free, happy, unfettered, able, well, and alive. 
--Martin Luther, The Bondage of the Will, in LW 33:130
