| Chapter 11 : abuse no poor 01 Do not covet a poor man's goods, 02 nor hunger for his bread. 03 A poor man's goods are a block in the throat, 04 it makes the gullet vomit. 05 He who makes gain by lying oaths, 06 his heart is misled by his belly. 07 Where there is fraud, success is feeble, (and) 08 the bad spoils the good. 09 You will be guilty before your superior, 10 and confused in your speech. 11 Your pleas will be answered by a curse, 12 your prostrations by a beating. 13 The big mouthful of bread You swallow, You vomit it, 14 and You are emptied of your gain. 15 Observe the overseer of the poor, 16 when the stick attains him. 17 All his people are bound in chains, 18 and he is led to the executioner. 19 (And) if You are released before your superior, 20 yet You are hateful to your subordinates. 21 Steer away from the poor man on the road. 22 Look at him and keep clear of his goods. |

| The power of media, whether direct or indirect, is a real power which acts on us, which modifies our behavior, our tastes, and probably our thoughts. Like all authority, it cannot be applied at random. Otherwise, that power could become arbitrary and irresponsible. The power gives mediamen responsibility comparable to religious or political responsibility. In their own way they contribute to the establishment and maintenance of a human community. The well-being of that community should be their first concern. |
