John Chrysostom

"Why is light given," Job asks, "to those whose soul dwells in bitterness, and life to those souls who are in pain?" Again this is not the language—God forbid!—of someone who makes rebukes, but of someone who searches and suffers. In fact, when words are spoken with a different spirit, they must not be interpreted in the same manner. Therefore, when a philosopher asserts, "Why does a senseless person have riches at his disposal?" he only shows that he is unworthy of riches. From this we learn that not only life but also death is useful, when it is more desired than evil.
