Shock comes — Oh! Oh! Then follow laughing words — ha! ha!
A Shock comes and at first you are distressed. As you learn the lesson this Shock teaches, your distress will change to joy.

The lesson you are meant to learn is: This Shock isn’t fatal, and neither are “the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to.”* We may think that every new shock is the end of the world, but it’s not. You will survive. Once you learn this lesson,** it will fill your life with joy.
