When I suffer, it seems the suffering will never end. When I am happy, it seems I will always be so. The first is temptation to despair, the second is temptation to complacency.
Over and over I fall for these two lies, no doubt proposed by the father of lies. It is a constant battle to understand the present circumstances for what they are, and to put them in their proper context. May the Holy Spirit help us persevere in this battle.
