Man should not blame God for those afflictions which are the natural result of the life which he chooses to live; neither should man complain of those experiences which are a part of life as it is lived on this world. [3] Prayer has turned many an irritable and complaining invalid into a paragon of patience and made him an inspiration to all other human sufferers. [4]
Never, since the marvellous bestowal of Jesus as the Planetary Prince of a world in isolation and rebellion, have any of the Material Sons or Daughters in Nebadon been tempted to complain of their assignments or to find fault with the difficulties of their planetary missions.

[9] Jesus said: To suffer evil without complaint and without resistance, the purely negative method, is not enough. We have to return good for evil. [10]
