"...one who is dedicated to an ideal must be prepared to gladly and eagerly give up one's all - even one's life - for the collective interest. Even in a house where food is not abundant, you should keep something for the reisdents of the house to appease their hunger, and donate the rest to the needy. In this case, thinking of the resisdents' necessities is not narrowness or meannesss, because the reservataion of life is certainly very important, though not the ultimate aim. When one is fighting for an ideal, however, to accept defeat means to plunge in severe gloom. Where there is not the least possibility to remove the gloom, one will have to sacrifice everything to uphold one's ideal. You should always be ready like an armed soldier to meet such exigencies."
