Sometimes when people are faced with a difficulty of some sort—perhaps sickness —they tend to reason along these lines: Why should this happen to me? I don't know why I should have this! I wonder if it is something I ate! Maybe I tried to do too much yesterday! And they go on and on trying to explain the discordant condition, trying to give it a cause. But does it have one? Where does this sort of wondering get anyone? No place!
Can we explain erroneous and suppositional human belief? Can we justify an unhappy, unhealthy, or inharmonious condition? If we can, then it must be reality. It must be true, for only truth can be explained. And if it is reality, how can we expect to get rid of it? Aren't we reasoning incorrectly?
Wondering is sometimes wandering— aimless drifting. Thinking in this fashion, we are drifting at a time when we might be knowing—knowing the truth of being as taught in Christian Science and confident of its healing and redemptive power. This Science teaches that all error is unreal, that God is the only cause, the only creator, the former of all things, the governor, the Lawgiver.
