I was once priveledged to know an Indian guru, a man of remarkable wisdom, who eschewed the comforts we take for granted and embraced a strictly ascetic lifestyle. He walked, barefoot, nearly everywhere he went and his feet were so calloused that he could easily walk for hours in any weather. He observed a strict vegetarian diet, which had the unfortunate side effect of bad breath, but otherwise agreed with him well, for he lived to be nearly 90 years of age. Toward the end of his life, his strength and sight began to fail. So, of course he was a super-calloused fragile mystic cursed by halitosis.
'A damned ill-conditioned sort of an ape. It had a can of ale at every pot-house on the road, and is reeling drunk. "
