It is better never to try to form any groups. Betrayal lives inside every group. If a person trusts his group, he ends up humiliated and degraded. What is called a group exists only on the basis of interest. If their stomachs are filled and they are cheered with a few good words, everyone will unite in a group. If the person leading the group is fair and enlightened, this affects those around him, and they too wear that face. But if the leader is ignorant, that group is no different from a pack of savages. The idea of uniting two people's heads on the basis of an idea is naive. It is not an idea but an empty stomach and food that unite. An idea exists only in a single person. He is the root of the group, but that same group can cut this root off without hesitation. The one who talks most about the group's harmony and solidarity is the first to run away. Not expecting salvation from a herd of people is characteristic of the wise. Of course, in the face of this merciless truth, not choosing seclusion is the work of the brave. To serve these people and not expect even a needle from them. To do good and throw it into the river. The wise are not deceived into thinking that the herds will know their worth. He who expects affection receives hurt. Not expecting affection is the path to not being hurt. A dog does not bite the one who has fed it, but a man bites — perhaps even devours. The way to remain human is to do good to everyone and forget it; one must not forget that it is in human nature to become attached to the one to whom one does good; it is enough if you do not become attached to those who ate bread from your hand.
