Thurs is a book of contraries and complimentary opposites. Divided into four sections (2x2): Gaining Friends-Splitting Partners; War-Peace. It is a story told by the wise to the foolish, it's most often form being a dialogue in which friends or adversaries debate a moral point using verse aphorisms and fables, the point being often conceded, but rarely won, and frequently contradicted in another part of the book.

I've come to the conclusion that it's principle message is that you can always show more find an excuse for doing this or that, and all you can do is your best. Being kind, trusting and truthful won't necessarily protect you from people of Ill-intent, but it's still the best way to be for one's own soul. show less
