He masters himself and then he begins to convey the knowledge that he has acquired to the family. The people who are closest to him. ↗

The thing I've noticed about life is that it just keeps coming at you. And it can be a real bummer. What you need to remember is that you're not alone. You've got friends and family. That's how we get by. We talk and share and eat cake and giggle in the dark, even when we're scared - no, especially when we're scared. ↗
