Excerpt from The Fine Art of Living Have faith! Life is not a tragedy. Perhaps there must come a time in the history of every soul when he questions as to whether it can be anything else. For one thing, Nature seems so fierce and merciless and can treat men, her oldest, most sympathetic and capable children, with cruel indifference. She engulfs them in seething waters, racks them with irremediable pains, burns them with fevers, wastes them with relentless consumptions, will not be entreated concerning them, and appears indifferent to the nature of the services they would gladly render her and her children. And the same old tyrant brings to life and to the certainty of suffering, multitudes who cannot, by any apparently possible means, find any path that leads out of the depths of distress. In these and many other cruel fashions she appears pleased to exhibit her power. There are aspects of her action that force us to feel that she cannot be trusted, despite all her fair show of beauty and benefit.
