Your
spirit
and
the
fire
contained
within
you
are
drawn
by
their
nature
upward
.
But
they
comply
with
the
world
's
designs
and
submit
to
being
mingled
here
below
.
And
the
elements
of
earth
and
water
in
you
are
drawn
by
their
nature
downward
.
But
are
forced
to
rise
,
and
take
up
a
position
not
their
own
.
So
even
the
elements
obey
the
world
--
when
ordered
and
compelled
--
and
man
their
stations
until
the
signal
to
abandon
them
arrives
.
So
why
should
your
intellect
be
the
only
dissenter
--
the
only
one
complaining
about
its
posting
?
It
's
not
as
if
anything
is
being
forced
on
it
.
Only
what
its
own
nature
requires
.
And
yet
it
refuses
to
comply
,
and
sets
off
in
the
opposite
direction
.
Because
to
be
drawn
toward
what
is
wrong
and
self-indulgent
,
toward
anger
and
fear
and
pain
,
is
to
revolt
against
nature
.
And
for
the
mind
to
complain
about
anything
that
happens
is
to
desert
its
post
.
It
was
created
to
show
reverence
--
respect
for
the
divine
--
no
less
than
to
act
justly
.
That
too
is
an
element
of
coexistence
and
a
prerequisite
for
justice
.

If
you
do
n't
have
a
consistent
goal
in
life
,
you
ca
n't
live
it
in
a
consistent
way
.
"
Unhelpful
,
unless
you
specify
a
goal
.
There
is
no
common
benchmark
for
all
the
things
that
people
think
are
good
--
except
for
a
few
,
the
ones
that
affect
us
all
.
So
the
goal
should
be
a
common
one
--
a
civic
one
.
If
you
direct
all
your
energies
toward
that
,
your
actions
will
be
consistent
.
And
so
will
you
.
