THE «SORROWTREE» LET US BOLDLY BEAR SUFFERINGS SINCE WE ARE HUMANS AND WE DESERVE TO LIVE VIRTUOUSLY Philemon If tears were a medicine for calamities and by crying one would cease to hurt each time we would give gold for these tears so that we could lessen the pain of calamities But things are different they neither pay attention nor look whether you shed tears or not and they are indifferent they take their own path So what will you gain by crying? no gain because like the tree sorrow makes this fruit, the tear Cherimonos No wise man regrets small things Menander Try the foolishness of fate to suffer with courage Philemon Corinth If Nikophon you knew the misfortunes of others you would surely suffer what you suffer Philippides Philadelphus When my master happens to be unlucky in something I recommend you to remember the poet Euripides and you will get through the misfortune more easily He says: “There is no man who is happy in everything in the world” Think too that you are one of many Euripides Since you are mortal, think that you will suffer the sufferings of mortals Do not have the claim to live the life of a god since you are not a god, but a human Observations: The “Lypodentro” is the tree that produces tears and pain. However, people, in addition to those that grow naturally with our birth and we cannot avoid them, are now planting millions of “Lypodentro” with wars, violence, crimes, theocratic conflicts, hunger, oppressive regimes and so many others that are about to dry up the rivers of water and fill them with tears and suffering. Who will free us from this vortex? And while if a global referendum were held, almost all people would vote in favor of Peace, our rulers wage wars and violate all justice.
