"We
knew before we were born that we were coming to the earth for
bodies and experience and that we would have joys and sorrows,
ease and pain, comforts and hardships, health and sickness, successes
and disappointments, and we knew also that after a period of life
we would die. We accepted all these eventualities with a glad
heart, eager to accept both the favorable and unfavorable. We
eagerly accepted the chance to come earthward even though it might
be for only a day or a year. Perhaps we were not so much concerned
whether we should die of disease, of accident, or of senility.
We were willing to take life as it came and as we might organize
and control it, and this without murmur, complaint, or unreasonable
demands."
