Thus he was my only confidant in matters of the heart, as well as my accomplice in deviating from the path of truth. And when, after the darkness had dissipated, I was slowly emerging from the abyss of ignorance and falsehood, he did not abandon me as a friend, but rather he led me towards the light of wisdom and truth, for which I hold him in high esteem.
