2. And you are a conditional mostly material being . So is it really so bad ?
3. Wanting to do something is not enough ? You are indeed an animal with fears and desires and that's not enough ? Why is being an animal less ? Why are fears and desires not enough ? Would more really make you that much happier ?
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
