"Someone brought a youth to a wise man, and said, 'See, this is one who is being corrupted by women!'

The wise man shook his head and smiled.

'It is men,' he called out, 'who corrupt women; and everything that women lack should be atoned for and improved in men - for man creates for himself the ideal of woman, and woman moulds herself according to this ideal.'

'You are too tenderhearted towards women,' said one of the bystanders, 'you do not know them.'

The wise man answered: 'Man's attribute is will, woman's attribute is willingness - such is the law of the sexes, verily! A hard law for woman! All human beings are innocent of their existence, women, however, are doubly innocent; who could have enough salve and gentleness for them!'

'What about salve! What about gentleness!' called out another person in the crowd, 'we must educate women better!'

'We must educate men better,' said the wise man, and made a sign to the youth to follow him.

The youth, however, did not follow him."

Sloth causes osteoporosis.

Polygamy risks the manifestation of a malformed body&mind when your random scattered offspring begin dating each other years after your death (centuries before Birth Control "cured" pregnancy).

Sullen faces, hunched posture, double chins, pot bellies - evidence of a derailed populace convinced to open the floodgates of desire. Your curse is a Cattle Car Healthcare System.

Eat less, do more. Pain is Weakness Leaving the Body.

Lest the Fast Track sequesters even more useful talent.

The clergy knew this, but you would rather overrule judgement with surgeries and pills (clean-up crew salary&options).

Morality is about someone else's tomorrow, because you will not be abandoned (despite your folly). Citizen Upkeep described in the form of iambic pentameter and parable.
