You don't know yourselves.

Run away.

Don't think.

Meaningless words on tongues.

Go out into the streets and roads.

Perhaps your mind will return.

Don't blame anyone.

I searched for you.

But I can't find any of you.

The sun is higher.

No one can see the moon.

Do you know yourselves?

Words aren't enough.

To express my grievances about you.

Find another way.

Stopping is better for you.

There's no need to boast about yourselves.

Vanity is the worst of evils.

I searched for you a lot.

But I can't find anyone.

Has any of you known the

meaning of life?

Know yourself.

Every day.

Every time.

Don't run away from the truth.
