Adore everything which lives beneath the sky. The light is so beautiful, the dusk and even the shadows. Do not flee from suffering or misery like a stag at bay pursued by the hounds. Never yield the slightest of what you truly feel within yourself to precarious self-interest, privileges, or false honours.
