Religious – Repentance – Reputation – Rest – Risk – Rules
ReligiousTo get stupidly religious often means getting duped, unprofitably conform and at times quite idiotic.
RepentanceRepentance emboldens some. To stand up, full of repentance for many and dark sins, suggests many aspirations in the dark too.
ReputationMany weathered horrors may bring a solid reputation, at least in books.
RestIf ample rest gives your heart distress and not just alarming boredom, the bet is you should resign. Great boredom is a twin of good rest - natural too. One should dispense with it for less than first-class artefacts. A man of the world seems often bored and of quite muddy signals.
RiskRisk-taking is hardly ever for the superior man of inner worth, who looks on the conditions that make for risks, as a mirrored shame. [Cf. "Prepare for the hard while it is still easy. Deal with it while it is still easy. Deal with the great or big while it is still small." - Tao Te Ching, Chap. 63] A small retreat and falling back on inner worth should prove better than great risk-taking. In the end in pays to study and find out what are the odds before taking significant risks.
RulesClearly defined and firm laws with defined penalties that humiliate, could help better ones to get successes and provide for their homes. It should be generally favourable to let such justice be administered. Some deride a rule from sensing that giving vent to such a basic urge helps in making goings upright. |
