Branch off the Tree!
pg.65 Book 11 : Marcus Aurelius :
A branch - that is cut off the from adjacent branch
is cut-off from the Tree as well!
so too a man, separated from another man
has fallen off from the whole social community
A branch-somebody else cuts it off
but - the man - separates himself from his neighbor!
when he hates him and turns away from him
at the same - cut himself off from the whole social system
Yet as human, you have the privilege , unlike the branch!
to grow again to that which is near us
and to become a part that makes up the whole!
