    Each of us must find on its behalf what is legal and what is forbidden: forbidden for him. You can not make never nothing forbidden and however be a great scoundrel. And vice versa. To be absolutely rigorous, it's comfortable. Whoever is too much comfortable to think for himself and to be judge of himself settles down to the prohibition. Easy for him. Others instead feel some Commandments inside themself and consider forbidden things that any gentleman does every day, while they feel legit other things that usually are prohibited. Everyone must be guarantor of itself.

      Once, he said to her: "You are like me, you are different from most people. You are Kamala, nothing else, and inside of you, there is a peace and refuge, to which you can go at every hour of the day and be at home at yourself, as I can also do. Few people have this, and yet all could have it. (From "Siddharta")
