Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 The young man went away, and six months afterwards a son was born to the clergyman, and he gave a thanksgiving party to which the young man was invited. The clergyman prayed, " Thank God for His mercies. " And the young man stood up and said, " Stop, this is all misery. " The clergyman asked, " Why? " " Because when my father died you said it was good, though apparently evil; so now, this is apparently good, but really evil. " Is this the way to cure the misery of the world? Be good and have mercy on those who suffer. Do not try to patch it up, nothing will cure this world; go beyond it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
