---

Those cults which remove suffering from their conception of human life and believe that the latter could and should consist solely of health, wealth, success, and joy are the fruits partly of wishful thinking and partly of misapplied intuition. They ascribe to Deity what are merely the desires of humanity. They accept what they wish to be true, and reject what is unpleasant if true.
