There is gratification in sharing joyful events and an advantage
to partnership. More important is to discover someone to help shoulder
your misfortunes. The hour of danger, the shadow of distress, will seem
less forbidding with someone at your side. Some wish to carry off all
the applause, but end by carrying off all the sounds of disapproval
instead. In such circumstances have a confidante or partner at hand to make
excuses for you, or at least to aid you in bearing the humiliation, for neither
fate nor the crowd readily attacks two! This explains why the intelligent
physician, having missed the cure, does not miss calling another, who
under the name of consultant helps him carry the coffin. Divide with another
your burdens and your sorrows. For misfortune, always difficult, is doubly
unbearable to him who stands alone.
