தன்னைத்தான் காதல னாயின் எனைத்தொன்றும் துன்னற்க தீவினைப் பால்.
Tannaitthan kathalan ayin enaitthonrum / tunnarrka theevainai paal.
If you love yourself truly, do not draw near to any wickedness—not even its shadow.
Self-love, rightly understood, is not indulgence but vigilance: it demands that you guard your inner citadel from the corruptions that masquerade as freedom. The Stoic recognizes that every approach toward vice is a betrayal of the self worth protecting.
