.......and you thought they were bad for you

‘In many instances diseases may be a heaven-sent blessing:

they cure egoism,

they teach patience,

and bring in their train the realization of the need for living rightly.

If we with our ungoverned emotions had bodies which could not be diseased,

they might well be weakened and killed by excesses.

Diseases actually are warnings to reform our thoughts and to live in accordance with nature’s laws.
