It isn't the Big troubles in life that requires character. Anybody can rise to a crisis and face a crushing tragedy with courage, but to meet the petty hazards of the day with a laugh- I really think that requires Spirit.
Its the kind of character that I am going to develop. I am going to pretend that all life is just a game which i must play as skillfully and fairly as I can.
If I lose, i am going to shrug my shoulders and laugh- also if i win.
Anyway i am going to be a sport. You will never hear me complain.
I am going to be good and sweet and kind to everybody because i am so happy. Isn't that an exalted stand to take? I am developing a beautiful character! It droops a bit under cold and frost, but it does grow fast when the sun shines.
Thats the way with everybody. I dont agree with the theory that adversity and sorrow and disappointment develop moral strength. The happy people are the ones who are bubbling over with kindliness.
