.The body and its parts are a river, the soul a dream and\u00a0mist, life is warfare and a journey far from home, lasting
\nreputation is oblivion.<\/p>\n
Then what can guide us?
\nOnly philosophy.<\/p>\n
Which means making sure that the power within stays safe\u00a0and free from assault, superior to pleasure and pain, doing\u00a0nothing randomly or dishonestly and with imposture, not\u00a0dependent on anyone else\u2019s doing something or not doing it.<\/p>\n
And making sure that it accepts what happens and what it is\u00a0dealt as coming from the same place it came from. And
\nabove all, that it accepts death in a cheerful spirit, as nothing\u00a0but the dissolution of the elements from which each living\u00a0thing is composed.<\/p>\n
If it doesn\u2019t hurt the individual elements\u00a0to change continually into one another, why are people afraid
\nof all of them changing and separating? It\u2019s a natural thing.
\nAnd nothing natural is evil.<\/p>\n
