Man, as long as he lives, should always fight and the first fight is to conquer himself.
It is the man who is unto himself treacherous.
This is because he does not listen to the other, but hears what his reasoning tells him.
While we have so many holy fathers to imitate them by reading their writings, however the ego takes over many times.
When man defeats himself, he is the greatest martyr and triumphant and victorious before God.
