A Letter to All My Great friends

Those who try to obtain my favourable attention are accustomed to come before me with the things that they value most, or which they think I will most enjoy. As a result, I often see expensive gifts such as expensive foods, watches, drinks, laptop, phones, cars, !designer perfumes, holidays, cut gold, rare precious stones, apparels and similar ornaments presented only to princes.

In 2019, desiring therefore to present myself with some proof of my devotion towards you, I have found that the possession I value above all the above is the 'knowledge' of the actions of great men. This knowledge has been acquired by my long experience in contemporary affairs, and a continual study of men and history. I have reflected on this long and carefully, and I now will send you these reflections that will be presented individually in small volumes.

In my massive lacking in the pleasures derived, and from the arrogant deviation from the value deemed objects that are weightly appraised by men. I hereby plead that you gift me with those the prizes that are humble and deviate from any monetary connotations such as flowers when am alive. May the LORD shower you with the equivalents of wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord.
