602. Processions

Insecurity is a one-man procession.
It comes back to the place where it started.

Fear is a ten-man procession.
It comes back to the place where it started.

Jealousy is a twenty-man procession.
It comes back to the place where it started.

Doubt is a hundred-man procession.
It comes back to the place where it started.

But
Love is a ten million-man procession.
Once it reaches its destination, Illumination,
It never returns.
