Often, in the pilgrimage of life, man is overtaken by happenings which bring him good in the form of evils, which for this very reason are not always immediately understood. Such happenings may be: The sudden death of a loved one. . .

The failure of a friend to understand. . .

Intentional slander. . .

The desertion of a friend. . .

However, Divine Justice provides everything in due course and he ultimately finds happiness where only misfortune seemed to exist for him.

Countless happenings also beset his course offering him evil in the form of good, which for this reason are not quickly understood. Such things as: Perverted fortune. . .

Overestimation of his own worth. . .

The flash of misguided intelligence. . .

Wayward power. . .

The intoxication drawn up in the chalice of flattery. . .

However, truth will take charge of correcting his perceptions, and at the proper moment he is surprised at the presence of sorrow where he had supposed alone.

Let us remember, then, that good and evil are not always good and evil vis-à-vis the Laws of Life and, accordingly, success or failure, defeat and victory depend, to some extent, on you yourself.
