In ironing out the disasters of Reality, Eternity rules out… - Isaac Asimov

" "
In ironing out the disasters of Reality, Eternity rules out the triumphs as well, It is in meeting the great tests that mankind can most successfully rise to great heights, Out of danger and restless insecurity comes the force that pushes mankind to newer and loftier conquests, Can you understand that? Can you understand that in averting the pitfalls and miseries that beset man, Eternity prevents men from finding their own bitter and better solutions, the real solutions that come from conquering difficulty, not avoiding it.
