And the thicker
the shell is made,

:46:13
more suffering there is
under its weight.

:46:17
Instead of being safe,
they are consumed by fear.

:46:23
They hide from everyone...
:46:25
not knowing that their
own eyes are withering.

:46:29
They unsuspectingly
become their own prisoners.

:46:34
They hold the key,
but they forget what it opens.

:46:39
They agonize over
their personal problems...

:46:43
and never reach the cure,
for they reject the medicine.

:46:50
Wisdom is found precisely in...
:46:53
not shutting oneself
in a smaller world.

:46:56
Being humble, a man
abandons his individuality...

:47:00
to become part of a greater whole...

family that each one shall forget...

:47:24
about his own problems.
:47:26
In preserving this unity...
:47:29
each of us shall reap
the finest rewards.

:47:38
Our law...
:47:42
is not to withdraw,
but to join in...

:47:49
not to separate...
:47:53
but to unify.
:47:56
Wherever one shall be,
