"

What a delusion people are in when they make every effort to make changes in their lives that are not in their power, to order the lives of others, and for the sake of this false order they deprive themselves of that order of life that is always in their power and is she the only one able to influence other people's lives? I don't know and I have no way of knowing what will happen to me, good or bad, what events will happen. I know for sure that it is always good to live morally, both for myself and for everyone else. And, knowing this, will I sacrifice what is just for what is unjust?

Romanian

"În ce rătăcire se află oamenii când depun toate eforturile ca să facă în viața lor schimbări care nu le stau în putere, ca să rânduiască viața altora, iar de dragul acestei false rânduieli se lipsesc de acea rânduire a vieții care e mereu în puterea lor și e singura în stare să influențeze viața altor oameni? Nu știu și n-am cum sa știu ce va fi cu mine, bun sau rău, ce evenimente se vor petrece. Știu sigur că întotdeauna e bine să trăiesc moral, și pentru mine și pentru toți ceilalți. Si, știind acest lucru, voi jertfi oare ce e drept pentru ce e nedrept?"
