"This is what you should do: love the earth and the sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks, stand up for the stupid and the crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, re-examine all you have been told in school, church or in any book, dismiss what insults your very soul, and your flesh shall become a great poem."

Simple - be authentic.
