We are all human,
But we are not the same.
Most of us are ordinary,
Only a very few have great virtues and high moral principles.
A truly virtuous person
Is greatly respected by others.
He will not be afraid to speak the truth and
He will not fawn on others.
If you are close to and learn from people of great virtue and compassion,
You will benefit immensely.
Your virtues will grow daily and
Your wrongdoings will lessen day by day.
If you are not close to and learn from people of great virtue,
You will suffer a great loss.
People without virtue will get close to you and
Nothing you do will succeed.
