Speak up if you must to correct a wrong
If it's just to complain and to whine, keep quiet
Move inert matter, use knowledge as a lever
Wisdom's weight dropped on one side of a board as lever
Reason moves the rock with its indifference to both pain and pleasure
Take the universe in as one moveable act and actor of completion
Let this realization keep your head up
Don't be dragged down to the petty disgrace of human bickering
The ultimate goal of all human effort should be freedom
Freedom from desire - for sex, for money, for unhealthy sustenance
A real man does not show his anxious face to the world
