“Don’t you have a sense of something important you must do in this lifetime?” he questioned.
“Oh sure, doesn’t everybody? Survive—get through today so I can start over and struggle with tomorrow. Anyway, why didn’t you stay around to help me when I needed it? Why didn’t you tell me these things were going to happen? You knew, didn’t you?”
“Of course, I knew. But if I had told you about them, you probably would have given up and never reached this point.”

“Bad things happen sometimes and good things can happen most of the time. It’s how you look at it, John.”
“There you go again, more riddles. Why don’t you answer my questions? Haven't bad things ever happened to you?”

They took our sheep and cattle, our seed grain, all they could find. They killed our men, raped our women and enslaved our children. In spite of all that, we maintained our faith and kept on struggling.
