A modern day philosopher wrote, “Let us not envy
the man whose life seems easy. Let us rather admire the man whose trials have
made him strong.”
Which is perhaps another way of saying that before we have the right to be happy we have the duty to do right…and right does sometimes bear quite a cost.
Take Paul for instance. He spent a lot of time comparing jails.
He went to the whipping post so often that if he had backed in they could have recognized him by his scars.
He was chased down, beaten up and in general given a hard time for proclaiming a faith that would not let him go and that he would not let go.
Interestingly, once there was an emperor named Nero. He had everything to make him happy. Wealth, power, position, everything. But instead of getting happy he went mad and burned down Rome.

And today men called their sons “Paul” and their dogs “Nero.”
