That parrot's non-co-operation with the cage, with its master, will live for ever because it looks upon renunciation, non-co-operation, as a joy.

It is as much our obligation not to cooperate with evil as it is to cooperate with good

Man becomes not the lord and master of all creation but he is its servant.
