Let us be rid of the notion that anyone is ill because a Divine
Being wants him to be ill.
But we must remember that while these principles cannot be
otherwise than true, every individual has behind him, at any
present moment, two great forces--the past of his ancestors and
the past of his own life. Let us be sensible, even while we insist
upon truths which are among the most beautiful in the world. The
past means much to all of us. Such is law. We cannot get away from
law, whatever our theories or religious belief. To me all Nature's
laws are of the White Life and untellably beneficent. The idea
that law is something hard and disagreeable is itself a false
suggestion and a wrong thought. Law is good. The law that life is
determined more or less by the past is a fine example of this
goodness. If it seems to go against us in some cases, it surely
goes for us in assisting a right past to make for a right future.
When it seems to work hardship, the fact is the law is trying to
face us about for a right time to come.
