Romans 8:18 used to keep the tragedy in proportion without denying it. Neville does not say the suffering is unreal or deserved; he says it will not stand comparison. A man may be in pain, or not in pain but embarrassed by the behaviour of a relative or in conflict inside himself, or hurt because his country is embarrassed - and none of it is to be set beside what is to be revealed, because when man is completely unveiled and he is God, this whole vast world vanishes from consciousness and he is in a world completely subject to his own creative power. It usually arrives at the point in a lecture where the horror has just been stated at full strength, which is its function: in the midst of tragedy, do not forget the glory. Man in the midst of tragedy forgets the glory - that is the failure it is aimed at, not the suffering itself.
