Personal Wisdom

 This is the best of all possible worlds . And although it is not altogether perfect , over all it's still good .  The reason for suffering is threefold . First , people have base impulses , which cause affliction to both the self and others . Secondly , life on earth is characterized by conflict . Let me explain with an example . A person might have an earache that is caused by a virus contained within some bacteria . Now , what is bad for the good of the person is good for the sake of the microorganism , and vice versa . The reason that we complain about suffering is because we feel that we are of the utmost importance . But what makes our lives any more significant than lower lifeforms ? For the nature of existence is to sustain ourselves at the expense of other beings. Our loss is their gain , just as their loss is to our own benefit .  The third and final cause of suffering stems from congenital defects , which are due to no one's fault .

Spiritual Wisdom

 I conceive of the Deity as constituting the Prime Mover , and World Soul .

Freedom is the most thrilling , and yet chilling thing conceivable . For once one drinks of the sweet nectar of liberty nothing else will satisfy the soul .

One should therefore pursue not only freedom but also wisdom , so that one might know how to best use one's freedom . Plus, not only can a people not be at once both ignorant and free , but also once a person comes to att
