Proto-monotheistic fragment,
earliest extinct conscious species.
Original fragment with philological interpolations
When [what is] right is [also] valuable, [we] know no friction.
[This] isn’t common, rejoice! [Give] thanks.
When they aren’t [equal], we become known [to ourselves].
When you choose, think [about these] words, always:
[Those who] seek only [what what they deem] valuable, may never be right.
[He who] follows only [what is] right, will make himself invaluable.
Harite Interpretation
Our duties are easier when doing right is worthwhile.
Oh, remarkable occurrence, praise be! Praise be to our Maker!
It is when they diverge that consciousness is reminded of itself.
When you ponder, remember His word:
He who seeks only worthwhile trials will seldom do right.
He who walks the righteous path will make himself worthy of our memory.
Luopsian interpretation
Our actions are easier when ethics and convenience are coupled.
This is rare, celebrate! Rejoice for our creation!
When they are distant, our true nature emerges.
When you choose between them, may this couplet come to you:
Those who merely pursue convenience may never be truly called good,
those who practice what is good will make each other’s lives convenient.
Cogwheel interpretation
Finding value in what feels right makes life easier.
If you have such luck, take advantage of it!
They’ll soon diverge again and show you your own worth.
When you make plans, remember this maxim:
If you only see value where everyone sees it you may do alright,
but if you do everything right, you will create infinite value.
