Do you ever walk by yourself? Or do you always go with others?
If you go out by yourself sometimes, not too far away because you are very young, then you will get to know yourself, what you think, what you feel, what is virtue, what you want to be. Find out. And you cannot find out about yourself if you are always talking, going about with your friends, with half a dozen people. Sit under a tree quietly by yourself, not with a book. Just look at the stars, the clear sky, the birds, the shape of the leaves. Watch the shadow. Watch the bird across the sky.
By being with yourself, sitting quietly under a tree, you begin to understand the workings of your own mind and that is as important as going to class.
