YOU CAN OVERCOME THE OBSTACLES
You have yourself, your existence as a human being, and you can work with what you have. You can develop the sense of basic instinct, which is pure and absolutely immaculate. There will be obstacles—questions, criticisms, moral and ethical choices—but you can overcome the obstacles by acting as a true human being. This is bound to be good. You are a dignified and capable person already. So why don’t you do it?
