The first 2 don't resonate with me at all as a pleb. It makes a lot more sense from someone in a position of centralised power though.
1) accepts nothing false or uncertain;
2) directs its impulses only to acts for the common good;
Number 3 & 4 seems reasonable to me but again are probably more important for a ruler.
3) limits its desires and aversions only to what's in its own power;
4) embraces everything nature assigns it.
I try to remember that I ultimately know nothing & everything the universe throws at me is for a reason. When you're in a supreme position of power, you have a different set of challenges.
Interesting perspective.
