• Some people as a result of adversity are sadder, wiser, kinder, more human. Most of us are better, though, when things go better.

Often times, most times, he's describing his own, revealing himself.

So be a good and proactive and even somewhat desperate patient on your own behalf - seek out the most efficacious anti-selfishness medicines, energetically, for the rest of your life.

• Vain vision! when the changing world each day Sees some such lordly pleasance pass away; When the mere stripling knows my symbols all Worn tokes, heaven hypothetical, Nature indifferent, and the dreams of men Figments of longing which we must condemn.
