character warrior men
Malicious acts are performed by people for personal gain … Sorcerers, though, have an ulterior purpose for their acts, which has nothing to do with personal gain.

Warriors say they act not for profit but for the spirit. Carlos Castaneda

And with this thankless work the professor loses his precious time.
