He must remember that self-pity is the worst poverty. The person who takes life in this way, saying, "My poor self, crinkled, forgotten, forsaken, ill treated by everybody, by the planets, even by God" - that person has no hope; he is an exile from the Garden of Eden. But when one says, "I know what human nature is, I cannot expect any better, I must only try and appreciate what little good comes from it, I must be thankful for it and try and give the best I can to others" - that is the only attitude that will enable man to develop his sympathetic nature. The one who keeps justice on the foreground is always blinded by it; he is always talking about justice, but never knows it. As to the one who keeps justice in the background, the light of justice falls on his way and he only uses justice for himself. When he has not done right to others he takes himself to task, but if others do not do right towards him he says that this is justice also. For the just person all is just, for the unjust everything is unjust. Remember that the one who talks too much of justice is far from justice; that is why he is talking about it.
