Chapter 113 Conclusion - 2

"Erret, et extremos alter scrutetur lberos. Plus habet hic vitae, plus habet ille viae. " "Let them wander to see the foreign Australians, The more I get from God, the more they get. " It is not worth traveling the world to count tigers in Zanzibar.But there's nothing better to do, and it's even worth doing, maybe you can find the "Cave of Xymes", from where you can finally get into the depths of your heart.Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, the Gold Coast, and the Slave Coast all face the inner ocean; but from there, they can sail directly to India, but no ship dares to sail out of the harbor and sail to the heart of the vast and invisible continent on the ocean.Though you have learned all dialects, been accustomed to all customs, though you have traveled farther than all travelers, and have adapted to all climates and soils, and even the sphinx was smashed to pieces on stones at you, you still To heed the words of the ancient philosopher, "Explore within yourself." This requires the eyes and the brain.Only defeated generals and deserters can go to this battlefield, only cowards and fugitives can enlist here.Start the adventure now, take the farthest west road, this adventure does not stop at Mississippi, or the Pacific Ocean, nor does it call you to ancient China or Japan, this adventure goes on, as if passing through a tangent of the earth , regardless of winter, summer, day and night, sunset and moon, you can explore your soul until the last place where the earth disappears.

Mirabeau is said to have experimented with cutting a trail on the High Road, "to test the degree of determination required to formally disobey the most sacred laws of society."He later declared that "a soldier on the field needs half as much courage as a scissors robber"—and that "honor and religion cannot hinder a prudent and firm resolution." And in this world, at last, Mirabeau A man; but it's boring, even if he's no rascal.A more sane man will find himself "officially disobeying" the so-called "society's most sacred laws" too often, because he obeys still more sacred laws, which he does not willfully, and which has tested his own resolve. .He need not take such an attitude towards society, he has only to remain what he is, obeying only his own laws, and if he can come across a just government, he will do so without confronting it.

I leave the forest as I enter it, for the same good reason.I feel that there may be several lives to live, and I don't need to devote more time to this one life.It's amazing how easy it is for us to get used to one kind of life in a muddle, and to step out of a certain track of our own.In less than a week of living there, my feet set out on a path leading from the gate to the shore; five or six years later, this path is still there.Yep, I think someone else took the trail too, so it's still in use.The surface of the earth is soft, and human feet leave traces; similarly, the journey of the soul also leaves routes.Think how the highways of the world are trampled and covered with dust, how deep the ruts have been formed by tradition and custom!I don't want to sit in the cabin, I would rather stand on the fore-mast and deck of the world, because from there I can see the bright moon among the peaks more clearly.I don't want to go down to the bilge any more.
