This was very personal for me. 25 years of photos leading me to myself. Holy, holy, holy. Happy Holy Week, y'all.

故宮室可得而居也。
And so we obtain homes and palaces and dwell therein.
故序四時，
Hence it is for no other reason that we are able to order the four seasons,
裁萬物，
judge the myriad things,
兼利天下，
and benefit all under heaven:
無它故焉，得之分義也。
we obtain all of this through discrimination and morality.

故義以分則和，
Hence if discriminations are made through morality there will be harmony,
和則一，
if harmony then unity,
一則多力，
if unity then strength,
多力則彊，
if strength then dominance,
彊則勝物；
and if dominance, victory over nature.

人何以能群？
How does mankind band together?
曰：分。
I say, discrimination.
分何以能行？
How do we practice discrimination?
曰：義。
I say, morality.

力不若牛，走不若馬，而牛馬為用，
Our strength does not compare to the ox nor our speed to the horse, yet we yoke the ox and bridle the horse.
何也？
How is this so?
曰：
I say,
人能群，彼不能群也。
Mankind bands together, and they cannot do so.

水火有氣而無生，
Fire and water have spirit but lack life.
草木有生而無知，
Trees and grasses have life but lack intelligence.
禽獸有知而無義，
Birds and beasts have intelligence but lack morality.

My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.
