Chapter Subtitle: In he morning when you rise unwillingly, let this thought be present- I am rising to the work of a human being.
18. Nothing happens to any man which he is not formed by nature to bear.
The same things happen to another, and either because he does not see that they have happened or because he would show a great spirit he is firm and remains unharmed.
It is a shame then that ignorance and conceit should be stronger than wisdom.
