Analysis of Exemplary backbone
On the great Cold Mountain, October's Midas, dripped and moulded from wax changed into a golden age, my half-shy and hesitantly aimless soul lingered aimlessly! The mountain-veterans, with their giant ridges, like magnificent triple kings, like servile and witnessing soldiers, knowing and trusting only in royal defiance, stood in Börzsöny the roar of the ancient mother-natural hurricane-horn and horn from the capricious Chserhat!
And like the iron-willed old man, plowed and hardened in the furrow of Time, with the stubborn stubbornness of the great Cold Mountain, like the donkey once or twice held himself with a strained and straight back, because he believed in his andesite and nickel-veined bones that there would come a time when he would endure and take up the four seasons' storm as a gauntlet! I have tried to draw an example and humanity from you!
And I have tried to defend my conscience with the same stubborn defiance and stubborn allies against the destructive lashes of the evil-souled human natures! - like the half-witted and too courteous hermit Quasimodo, up in the fields of Farmer's Square, I have guarded, I know not how long, my humanity of conscience as an outcast condemned to silence, with witnessing faith and watchful reason!
Mankind seems to have forgotten what sincere character means at the word of a single command of the inner soul, and what does Gerincessity mean? - Hesitating within myself, like a hedgehog perhaps finding shelter in a frightened hollow, I began to dread and fear with a consciously discovered and deliberate will: the corruptible world of Men!
- Will there be someone at the edge of this earthly world who, trusting in the shelter of encouraging sincerity, will surely gather the backbone and humanity of the human personality? Will it happen that with a resolute and sanctified firm will we will answer with a righteous and determined courageous no with a clear conscience against a tempting and alluring opportunity? - If we do not sell the unique individuality of our own inner spiritual world for a bowl of lentils?
Only to have our profits and careers fall at a good pace and accelerating rate into the stage of beautifying development, even by trampling on the little people? - Will we be brave enough to face up to our own sometimes fallible nature, and courageously rise from the neck-deep mud and decide, as an embellishing will, to guard our own personality like a soldier in armour? - I hope that everyone will know the one and only Law of Truth of right decision!
