Keep in this mood until it becomes second nature, and I will send you wisdom to live aright for the hour, as the Sun sends to the plant enough of its warmth for the hour, and no more." Every pain, every uneasiness of mind or body, great or small, is a judgment entered up against us, but only with the aim of keeping us where we shall grow into ever increasing happiness. "Punishment" and "penalty"...
