1 We need to keep our faith strong, above some dark indications such as 'a black hole or cavern in a rock.' This could be 'a mind given to futile or vacuous projects, inconstant and fruitless work.' 'Always open to receive benefits from others, but yielding nothing of his own, he will fail of friends and fortune . . .' This is a hint that it would be good to think more about what you can do for someone else or a group than about selfish projects.
2 'A mole' is 'very reserved, with great individuality, very determined; one who hates the public.' Are there not times when you, or a friend, has said 'I just don't like people' ? Again the advice of paragraph 1 is appropriate. Yet being good to others does not necessarily detract from being 'very individual and determined.' It could be a matter of trying to lead those who do not want to be led. Still, the attempt may be worthwhile.
3 'A man swimming in an angry sea' 'will have a troublesome life, with many changes of fortune and buffeting by waves of adversity. Yet he will endure, and in spite of his disposition to help others at his own disadvantage [correcting the errors of the previous two paragraphs] will meet with recognition and even honor, as the leader of a forlorn hope.' (Sepharial)
4 Like 'Indians making camp,' you could be good at 'finding everything you need immediately at hand.' Choosing things and rejecting things, you are provided with opportunities 'in the least promising situations.' This is practical extemporization.
5 'Sea gulls watching a ship' likewise recognize every opportunity at hand (or at sea). There is 'impersonal give-and-take in life's economy.' What the seamen discard the gulls appropriate. Vigilance and alertness save the day, or at least prepare for tomorrow.
