/ Unimportance                                                               \

| All the world says, "I am important; I am separate from all the world. I   |
| am important because I am separate, Were I the same, I could never be      |
| important." Yet here are three treasures That I cherish and commend to     |
| you: The first is compassion, By which one finds courage. The second is    |
| restraint, By which one finds strength. And the third is unimportance, By  |
| which one finds influence. Those who are fearless, but without compassion, |
| Powerful, but without restraint, Or influential, yet important, Cannot     |
| endure.                                                                    |
