For In Every Ill-turn Of Fortune The Most Unhappy Sort Of Unfortunate Man Is The One Who Has Been Happy

In Other Living Creatures The Ignorance Of Themselves Is Nature, But In Men It Is A Vice.

Every Man Must Be Content With That Glory Which He May Have At Home.

So It Follows That Those Who Have Reason Have Freedom To Will Or Not To Will, Although This Freedom Is Not Equal In All Of Them. [...] Human Souls Are More Free When They Persevere In The Contemplation Of The Mind Of God, Less Free When They Descend To The Corporeal, And Even Less Free When They Are Entirely Imprisoned In Earthly Flesh And Blood.

Balance Out The Good Things And The Bad That Have Happened In Your Life And You Will Have To Acknowledge That You Are Still Way Ahead. You Are Unhappy Because You Have Lost Those Things In Which You Took Pleasure? But You Can Also Take Comfort In The Likelihood That What Is Now Making You Miserable Will Also Pass Away.
