Trees Are Sanctuaries. Whoever Knows How To

More From Hermann Hesse

Men are four; he who knows and knows not that he knows. he is asleep; wake him. he who knows not and knows not that he knows not. he is a fool; shun him. he who knows not and knows that he knows not. he is a child; teach him. he who knows and knows that he knows. he is a king; follow him. the heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.

The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.

I have always endeavoured, as my double duty of believer and sovereign dictated, to follow the precepts of the sacred book of islam: precepts of balance, justice and moderation. although my religious education was very literal, in that i learnt to understand the precepts of the koran precisely according to the text, we have seen that on several occasions throughout my life, i have felt myself to be very particularly in the hands of the almighty.

There are four types of men in this world: 1. the man who knows, and knows that he knows; he is wise, so consult him. 2. the man who knows, but doesn't know that he knows; help him not forget what he knows. 3. the man who knows not, and knows that he knows not; teach him. 4. finally, there is the man who knows not but pretends that he knows; he is a fool, so avoid him.

...most men have bound their eyes with one or another handkerchief, and attached themselves to some one of these communities of opinion. this conformity makes them not false in a few particulars, authors of a few lies, but false in all particulars. their every truth is not quite true. their two is not the real two, their four not the real four; so that every word they say chagrins us, and we know not where to begin to set them right.
Truth Real Lying
A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of god. an unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. to put it in the terms of saint thomas aquinas, an unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal and natural law.
