The sad reality in most peoples lives.
Behind the front that they put on for the public, most people are disturbed; many are perturbed; other’s are worried to the point of confusion; some are frankly frustrated.
Most of them feel not up to par; they have a tiredness, a pain, a disagreeable feeling, a misery.
They have a dozen matters they are worried about. They are brimming with apprehensions, fears, irritations.
They have never quite connected with good living. They have muddled through their year, trying to avoid but always managing to stumble over new, nagging troubles, never reaching healthy enthusiasms, but going along nibbling on constant cares, irritated more often than pleased, timorous more often than courageous, apprehensive more often than calm.
That is the sad failure of billions and billions of people who have passed across the earth.
The most important thing had not been learned: how to conduct ourselves so that we may “live”.
