BONUS: The Six Stones of Balance
They were not commandments carved for the world to obey.
They were stones placed for one mind to remember.
Each morning, the system revealed itself again. Wisdom to see clearly before speaking. Courage to act when action was uncomfortable. Discipline to return even after failure. Temperance to remain steady when emotion surged. Humility to accept the rhythm of change. Justice to weigh every decision with balance.
The stones did not compete. They corrected one another. When courage leaned toward excess, temperance intervened. When discipline hardened, humility softened it. The system held because no single virtue ruled alone.
Above them, the cosmos moved without concern. Below them, life unfolded through consequence and choice. Alignment was never permanent. It was earned daily.
And so the bearer returned, again and again, not to worship the symbols, but to practice them.
