to serve your town. Some will do so in government, others in administration and others in religion. Whatever your destination, must act righteous, moderately and with integrity. All the eyes of the people will be on you. You may not deviate even a little from the path. The people need to be organized and lead; for this reason the people need to trust and respect their leaders. If this does not happen, because their leaders are corrupted, take vices or forget their responsibilities of serving the public good; the town is destroyed, it corrupts, disintegrates. Do not forget that the most valuable public good of the community is the government. Remember to govern by obeying.
Serving is the most difficult virtue in life. But to serve with power, without abusing it, without taking advantage for personal reasons; represents the biggest challenge of men. Power gets people dizzy and destroys hollow, small and weak men. Power is one of the enemies to defeat and perhaps the most dangerous. Beloved and dear children, hope of tomorrow, of the Sun and our bones; open your heart and understanding... the really powerful man, is he who wants nothing! Because this man has reached a complete domain of himself, his passions and weaknesses. The victor of the florid war doesn't want anything from "our world"; anything of "our" things, is too much for him; for the immaculate warrior; only flowers and songs, in the midst of his florid battle.
Tonight the Supreme Council of the people will meet in private, with the Council of our institution. There they will analyze who of you already have the already flourished, which of you already have the fruit seed in the chest, which will become the livelihood of the town. Your teachers and tutors will analyze with the Council, your potential to serve better. Whatever your destiny, fulfill it effectively and efficiently... with a silent lust for being the best of yourselves; without fear, ambition or obsession.
Tomorrow begins the most important stage of your life. So retire to rest and do not worry overnight, as you will have a lifetime to deal with... good night.
