Who is the fool?
He is the real fool who thinks that there can be a compromise between the aspiring life and the unaspiring life. He who thinks the aspiring life and the unaspiring life can go together is a fool. An aspiring life must go with another aspiring life and an unaspiring life must go with another unaspiring life.
