148. Suffering is the lot of the world’s best and bravest
RIDGELY,
1st Nov., 1899.
DEAR MARGOT,
… It seems there is a gloom over your mind. Never mind, nothing is to last for ever. Anyhow life is not eternal. I am so, so thankful for it. Suffering is the lot of the world’s best and bravest—yet, for aeons yet—till things are righted, if possible, here—at least it is a discipline which breaks the dream. In my sane moments I rejoice for my sufferings. Some one must suffer here;—I am glad it is I, amongst others of nature’s sacrifices.
Yours etc.,
VIVEKANANDA.
