Praise and condemnation both cause dismay.
Honor and great pain are bound up together.

Why do praise and condemnation both cause dismay?
Praise makes us low.
We're dismayed when we get it.
We're dismayed when it is taken away.
That's why praise and condemnation both cause dismay.

Why are honor and great pain bound up together?
I'm bound to be in pain because I care about myself.
If I did not care about myself, what pain could I suffer?

If you respect the world as you respect yourself
   you're ready to tend the world.
If you care about the world as you care about yourself
   you're ready to rule the world.

[A] {DaSeHrup}: literally, you are ready to control it. I went for a little 
play of words here:{SaH} and {SeH} differ only in one sound.
