Becoming Oneself


In this world,
no one is his or her brother or sister's keeper.
Each one is for oneself.

One's task is therefore to discover more of oneself.
Until one coalesces with the world...

And realize that his brother or sister
is really oneself,
in another branch,
another leaf,
another blossom

Just like the tree
is rooted in one earth,
one is part of everybody and everything else.

And,
in the first place,
one has to take care of his brothers and sisters
as one's own.
