Guest guest Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Man is a burden upon the earth, merely a consumer of food An empty iron box gets value when it contains jewels; the body is honoured when it contains the jewels of consciousness and values known as 'virtues'. Life has to be lived through for the sake of the chance to unfold the virtues. Otherwise, man is a burden upon the earth, merely a consumer of food. Help to the needy has been described as the highest virtue and harming others has been condemned as sin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
