Answer: It is a difference of focus. If we focus our mind upon all that is good and beautiful we shall see-in spite of all the ugliness that exists in nature and especially more pronounced in human nature-that the ugliness will cover itself. We will spread a cover over it and see all that is beautiful, and to whatever lacks beauty we will be able to add, taking it from all that is beautiful in our heart where beauty has sufficiently been collected. But if we focus our mind upon all the ugliness that exists in nature-and in human nature-there will be much of it. It will take up all our attention and there will come a time when we shall not be able to see any good anywhere. We shall see all cruelty, ugliness, wickedness and unkindness everywhere.
