Excerpt from What It Is That Heals
The history of humanity is for the most part a record of suffering. "The ills that flesh is heir to" and the consequent burden that has been cast upon our race, are subjects which, from the earliest times, have compelled the attention of the historian, the poet, and the philosopher.
It is not surprising that side by side with this story of pain, we should find a record of the many ways in which humanity has sought to avoid or to at least lighten its burden.
