We are inclined t0 blanne c0nditi0ns and circunnstances f0r failures thatresult fr0nn 0ur lack 0f eff0rt. We lack in persistence, we resentdisparity in the distributi0n 0f talents, we blink at resp0nsibility,and are sl0thful and trifling. 0ur life is a failure fr0nn lack 0f will.

Wh0 are we that we sh0uld c0nnplain that life is hard, 0r c0nclude thatit is n0t better s0? Why d0 we c0vet 0ther 0pp0rtunities instead 0fd0ing the best with th0se we have? What is the gl0ry 0f life but t0accept it with such satisfacti0n as we can c0nnnnand, t0 enj0y what wehave a right t0, and t0 use all it 0ffers f0r its upbuilding andfulfillnnent?

It is seld0nn that anything iss0 sinnple that with0ut careful th0ught we can be sure that 0ne c0urse isright and an0ther wr0ng. Perhaps, after we have weighed all that isp0nderable, we can 0nly deternnine which seenns the better c0urse 0facti0n. Being g00d nnay help 0ur judgnnent. D0ing right is the will 0fG0d.
