"Happy indeed we live, free from avarice amidst the avaricious. Amidst the avaricious men we dwell free from avarice.Happy indeed we live, we who possess nothing. Feeders on joy we shall be, like the Radiant Gods.Victory begets enmity; the defeated dwell in pain. Happily the peaceful live, discarding both victory and defeat."
