712. Alone with the Master
When you are alone with your Master,You are not happy.
You feel sad that nobody is there
To appreciate you,
To admire you,
To consider you exceptional.
When you are in a group with your Master,
You are not happy.
You feel sad that you have to share
Your Master's presence with others,
His smile with others.
You are one of the many,
And in no way exceptional.
