FugiCor, LLC d/b/a BetterPears

In the second book of his Confessions, St. Augustine of Hippo wrote: Et ego furtum facere volui et feci nulla compulsus egestate nisi penuria et fastidio iustitiae et sagina iniquitatis. Nam id furatus sum, quod mihi abundabat et multo melius…(II, 4.9) The context is an incident in his youth when in the company of boys given to wickedness, stole pears from a neighbor’s property. As an adult, indeed a Catholic bishop, St. Augustine reflects that he would not have committed this crime and sin if he had kept better company. It was not out of want or hunger that he stole, for at his nearby home he had better pears in abundance. BetterPears was founded to offer better fruit for the human soul, the wisdom of our betters, in their original words, in the company of good friends.
