“When a man is alive, his body is elastic and flexible; when he is dead, it is hard and rigid.The same happens to all the things. Trees and plants are soft and flexible, while they are growing, then they become fragile as soon as they die. So, to be hard and rigid means to go toward death; whereas, in order to live, it is sufficient to be soft and flexible.”
