Suppose
(
I
)
:
Why
would
I
want
to
live
in
disorder
and
confusion
?
Why
would
I
care
about
anything
except
the
eventual
"
dust
to
dust
"
?
And
why
would
I
feel
any
anxiety
?
Dispersal
is
certain
,
whatever
I
do
.
Or
suppose
(
II
)
:
Reverence
.
Serenity
.
Faith
in
the
power
responsible
.
11
.
When
jarred
,
unavoidably
,
by
circumstances
,
revert
at
once
to
yourself
,
and
do
n't
lose
the
rhythm
more
than
you
can
help
.
You
'll
have
a
better
grasp
of
the
harmony
if
you
keep
on
going
back
to
it
.
12
.
If
you
had
a
stepmother
and
a
real
mother
,
you
would
pay
your
respects
to
your
stepmother
,
yes
...
but
it
's
your
real
mother
you
'd
go
home
to
.
The
court
...
and
philosophy
:
Keep
returning
to
it
,
to
rest
in
its
embrace
.
It
's
all
that
makes
the
court
--
and
you
--
endurable
.
13
.
Like
seeing
roasted
meat
and
other
dishes
in
front
of
you
and
suddenly
realizing
:
This
is
a
dead
fish
.
A
dead
bird
.
A
dead
pig
.
Or
that
this
noble
vintage
is
grape
juice
,
and
the
purple
robes
are
sheep
wool
dyed
with
shellfish
blood
.
Or
making
love
--
something
rubbing
against
your
penis
,
a
brief
seizure
and
a
little
cloudy
liquid
.
Perceptions
like
that
--
latching
onto
things
and
piercing
through
them
,
so
we
see
what
they
really
are
.
That
's
what
we
need
to
do
all
the
time
--
all
through
our
lives
when
things
lay
claim
to
our
trust
--
to
lay
them
bare
and
see
how
pointless
they
are
,
to
strip
away
the
legend
that
encrusts
them
.
Pride
is
a
master
of
deception
:
when
you
think
you
're
occupied
in
the
weightiest
business
,
that
's
when
he
has
you
in
his
spell
.

Compare
Crates
on
Xenocrates

Things
ordinary
people
are
impressed
by
fall
into
the
categories
of
things
that
are
held
together
by
simple
physics
(
like
stones
or
wood
)
,
or
by
natural
growth
(
figs
,
vines
,
olives
...
)
.
Those
admired
by
more
advanced
minds
are
held
together
by
a
living
soul
(
flocks
of
sheep
,
herds
of
cows
)
.
Still
more
sophisticated
people
admire
what
is
guided
by
a
rational
mind
--
not
the
universal
mind
,
but
one
admired
for
its
technical
knowledge
,
or
for
some
other
skill
--
or
just
because
it
happens
to
own
a
lot
of
slaves
.
