Keeping integrity, staying dignified,

Do not throw away all truths
purely for enjoyment.
If you carry on in a vulgar way
with no pursuit, is life not wasted?
Do not throw away all truths
purely for enjoyment.

a path in life filled with meaning.
Forsake all pleasures, forsake the flesh
for the sake of truth.
