My brother, are war and battle evil? But this evil is necessary, envy and mistrust and slander among your virtues are necessary.
Look, how each of your virtues is greedy for the highest. It wants your entire spirit, to be its herald; it wants your entire strength in rage, hatred and love.
Each virtue is jealous of the other, and jealousy is a terrible thing. Even virtues can perish of jealousy.
Whoever is ringed by the flame of jealousy in the end will turn his poisonous stinger upon himself, like the scorpion. Oh my brother, have you never seen a virtue slander and stab itself?
Human being is something that must be overcome, and therefore you should love your virtues – for of them you will perish."
