The Importance of Sanity

If you choose to do a kind act, don't do it in expectation of a future reward. The acts themselves are their own rewards and what lead to a good life. Focus more on whether what you're doing is right or wrong than on the risk it brings you. You suffer justly because you choose to be good tomorrow rather than today. Stop seeking approval from others, stop putting things off. Decide once and for all to pursue justice, honesty, courage, self-control and rational action above all else.
