The less faith we have, the more our sorrows.
One of the most important benefits of faith is that it releases man from many sorrows.
As long as the child knows that there is a father, who takes care of the house and all the household chores, all his sorrows end quickly with singing.
But once this feeling is lost, it stays with the song!
Then the child feels like an orphan, alone, surrounded by distress, surrounded by a swarm of wasps.
The more people try on their own, with their own powers to “unload” their sorrows, the more they get tangled into their net.
Joy fades out, the hair whitens, the body “vapors”, the anger accumulates, until the man ends up like a bag of dry skin full of anger, bent over the grave.
