A Monk

Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family.

My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.

  • The justice of the great
  • The prayers of the righteous and
  • The valor of the brave

But, all of these are as nothing without a ruler who knows the art of ruling.
