This is what you should do:
love the earth and sun and animals,
despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,
stand up for the stupid and crazy,
devote your income and labor to others,
hate tyrants,
argue not concerning God,
have patience and indulgence toward the people,
re-examine all you have been told
in church or school or in any book,
dismiss what insults your very soul,
and your flesh shall become a great poem.

-Walt Whitman
