Let us imagine a child and a grown-up in Heaven who both died in the True Faith, but the grown-up has a higher place than the child. And the child will ask God, ‘Why did you give that man a higher place?’ And God will answer, ‘He has done many good works.’ Then the child will say, ‘Why did you let me die so soon so that I was prevented from doing good?’ God will answer, ‘I knew that you would grow up a sinner, therefore it was better that you should die a child.’ Then a cry goes up from the damned in the depths of Hell, ‘Why, O Lord, did you not let us die before we became sinners?’

American Decline
I wasn't there when Nixon made a phone call to the moon.
I wasn't there when Cuba launched their 98th balloon.
I wasn't there when white men stole the black man's rock and roll.
I wasn't there when God made Eve and breathed into her soul.
