The body

"What is physical life? Is it not a temporary state? What is suffering? Is it not a voluntary Penance to ourselves? What is death? Is it not a transformation into another state of soul? And what is family? Is it not the joining together of broken links? And what is the power in man that stirs the heart in the face of evil, and stirs it in the face of good? What is the force that impels man to improvement, to perfection?"
