Steven Karcher & Michael Servetus
The journey in fragments, cling! clang! You are split off from your place and grasp disaster.
Your journey is falling apart before it has begun because you are grasping at all the little details. Do you really want to act like this? Do not stay in mourning for the past. Your melancholy and pain are in danger of destroying you. Organize yourself and set off. There will be excellent results. You are connected to a creative force.
Richard Wilhelm
If the wanderer busies himself with trivial things,
He draws down misfortune upon himself.
##### Comments
A wanderer should not demean himself or busy himself with inferior things he meets with along the way. The humbler and more defenseless his outward position, the more should he preserve his inner dignity. For a stranger is mistaken if he hopes to find a friendly reception through lending himself to jokes and buffoonery. The result will be only contempt and insulting treatment.
