The 2nd Law is cold and hard and not to be denied. Beyond the end of time perhaps...

Likewise, that which is good is rare and fleeting. What to be seen on the face of the earth is permanent? In the heavens? But if it offers a glimmer of hope to those who can accept it, it has succeeded. It is enough. Better than this, too, waits beyond the end of time.

(The whole history of Judeo-Christian-Islamic thought has had to struggle with the fact that good does not appear to triumph over evil in this world. We must hope it does in the next.)
