Although in this life it often appears that the good suffer misfortune while the wicked prosper, this is only an illusion from God's perspective, everything happens for a reason, either to discipline the wayward or reward the just.īoethius and Philosophy also engage such questions as predestination and free will. True happiness comes not from external things (money, power, fame, honor, or pleasure) but from loving God and living a life of virtue. He is reminded that fortune and human glory are transitory, and that the all-seeing providence of God rightly orders all human affairs. Boethius's dialogue with Philosophy brings him comfort in his predicament, leading him back to the philosophical path from which he had strayed.
