What Can Be Cured

By Francesca

"What can't be cured must be endured." By all means; and let us endure it with what nobility we may. But what about the things which can be cured, and ought to be cured? Are they to be endured?—No, a thousand times no! To suffer them in one's own life would be morbid; to suffer them in another's life would be cowardly. And yet how often those words are expressive of laziness rather than of submission. A brave man would never sigh such words of committal over the grave of a lost good or a dead joy until he had strained every nerve to preserve the good and to keep alive the joy.—Francesca.
