The Lord gets his best soldiers out of the highlands of affliction.

He was afflicted by the thought that where Beauty was nothing ever ran quite straight which no doubt was why so many people looked on it as immoral.

The ignorant mind with its infinite afflictions passions and evils is rooted in the three poisons. Greed anger and delusion.
