Al impedir los fracasos de la Realidad, la Eternidad también impide el logro de los triunfos. Solo haciendo frente a las grandes pruebas puede la Humanidad elevarse a nuevas y mayores alturas. Del peligro y de la aventura han salido siempre las fuerzas que han llevado al Hombre a nuevas y más grandes conquistas. ¿No lo entiendes? ¿No comprendes que al impedir las miserias y fracasos que torturan al Hombre, la Eternidad no le deja encontrar sus propias soluciones, difíciles pero provechosas, las soluciones verdaderas que se obtienen al vencer las dificultades, no al evitarlas?
