WE HAVE FIRST TO LEARN THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE ESSENTIALS AND THE NON - ESSENTIALS IN EVERYTHING


 In plain words, we have first to learn the distinction between the essentials and the non-essentials in everything. The essentials are et...ernal, the non-essentials have value only for a certain time; and if after a time they are not replaced by something essential, they are positively dangerous.
