The company of men increases our troubles;
it makes worship impossible; mankind, O
God, are of three sorts. Thus, I am weary of
society; I observe Their varied interests; there
is no room there for single-hearted faith;
uncertainty prevents the growth of it. The learned
do not see their own true welfare; when they
meet other men they dislike them. Tuka says,
Solitude is best for us.
