6. ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਜੇ ਮੈਂ ਅਭਮਾਨ ਕਰਨਾ ਚਾਹਾਂ ਤਾਂ ਵੀ ਮੂਰਖ ਨਾ ਬਣਾਂਗਾ ਇਸ ਲਈ ਜੋ ਮੈਂ ਸੱਚ ਬੋਲਾਂਗਾ । ਪਰ ਮੈਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਆਪ ਨੂੰ ਰੋਕ ਰੱਖਦਾ ਹਾਂ ਅਜਿਹਾ ਨਾ ਹੋਵੇ ਭਈ ਕੋਈ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਉਸ ਤੋਂ ਵਧੀਕ ਨਾ ਸਮਝ ਲਵੇ ਜੋ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਵੇਖਦਾ ਯਾ ਮੇਰੇ ਕੋਲੋਂ ਸੁਣਦਾ ਹੈ

6. ਭਾਵੇਂ ਮੈਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਆਪ ਬਾਰੇ ਹੀ ਸ਼ੇਖੀ ਮਾਰਨਾ ਚਾਹੁੰਦਾ ਹਾਂ ਪਰ ਤਾਂ ਵੀ ਮੈਂ ਮੂਰਖ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੋਵਾਂਗਾ ਕਿਉਂਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਸੱਚ ਦੱਸ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੋਵਾਂਗਾ। ਪਰ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਆਪ ਬਾਰੇ ਸ਼ੇਖੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਮਾਰਨੀ ਚਾਹੀਦੀ। ਕਿਉਂ? ਕਿਉਂ ਜੋ ਮੈਂ ਇਹ ਨਹੀਂ ਚਾਹੁੰਦਾ ਕਿ ਉਹ ਮੇਰੇ ਬਾਰੇ ਵਧ੍ਧ ਸੋਚਣ, ਜੋ ਉਹ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਕਰਦਿਆਂ ਦੇਖਦੇ ਹਨ ਜਾਂ ਕਹਿੰਦਿਆਂ ਸੁਣਦੇ ਹਨ।
