   of them, wanting to save himself, stripped off his clothes and threw   
   himself into the water; and in this way he was able to save his life.   
   The other, wanting to save his clothes as well, was drowned,   
   destroying himself for the sake of a slight gain. Or again, let us   
   suppose that news of an attack by an enemy was announced. One man, as   
   soon as he heard the news, fled as fast as his feet would carry him,   
   without a thought for his possessions. Another, either because he   
   distrusted the news, or because he wanted to take with him some of his   
   goods, waited until later, and when the enemy arrived he was caught.   
   Thus, through his lack of alertness and his attachment to worldly   
   things, he lost body and soul by his own free choice.
