The Final Test

Ancient Wisdom
It might be 
   The final test of man, the narrow way 
   Proving him worthy of immortal life 
   That he should face this darkness and this death 
   Worthily, and renounce all easy hope, 
   All consolation, all but the simple smile  
      Upon the face of Truth…

(From the Book of Earthan ancient Egyptian funerary text.)
