Vier Vitruvian Virtues

If
Curiosity
is the First,

then,
Courage,
is the Second.

For what is found in pursuit of Truth,
Will shake your very ground.

Third is
Compassion,
for self and for other.


Fourth,
and final,
 in the foundational sense,
is Control of totality of one's self.
Less like a Tyrant...
More like a Conductor..
The less you subjugate yourself,
The less you suffer.

Learn to lead yourself 
like a child leads a puppy,
or perhaps more precisely,
like a puppy leads a child.
No leash,
no whip,
no treat,
All in.

+Curiosity+
+Courage+
+Compassion+
+Control+

Armed with these four,
You will go far
There is nothing else you need,
Nothing else to seek.

There are many more beyond the Four.
All can and will be revealed.
It is by these Four,
that the walls of your Temple shall be wrought.

A foundation of self,
which can't be stolen,
intimidated,
killed,
nor bought.
