When Emile understood what life was, at first I paid the most attention to teaching him how to protect his own life.Up to now, I have not distinguished status, rank, occupation or wealth, and I will not need to distinguish in the future.No matter what occupation a person takes, the stomach of a rich man is no bigger than that of a poor man, nor his digestion better, a master's arm is neither longer nor stronger than a servant's, a great man is no taller than an ordinary man, To the extent that the needs of nature are the same for all, the means of satisfying them must also be equal.A man's education should be adapted to his true self, not to that which is not himself.Don't you see that your efforts to adapt him to only one status, to everything else, and to the capriciousness of fate, may do him harm?When fate changes, whoever can give up the identity that no longer belongs to him will be happy.
