“Do not think that you will find rest when you speak out seeking justice for yourself. Justice is to endure with bravery the temptation that comes so that you emerge victorious, whether or not you were at fault. But if you say, “But why?” you are fighting against God Who sent the afflictions because of your passionate condition. God disciplines us so that we reach dispassion. Thus, if you do not endure it, truly you are fighting against God.”
