Poemen said, "The beginning of evil is to diversify the mind."He also said, "It is good to flee from the things of the body. When a man is engaged in conflict about the body, he is like a man standing on the edge of a very deep pool, into which his enemy can knock him the moment he sees him. But, when he has put aside bodily things, he is like a man standing a long way from the pool, where, if the enemy drags him along to throw him in, God will help him while he is being dragged there."
