"With the end of the month approaching, I, Ye Hua-Paul, hereby vow to slack off until death. I shall not pray, nor seek promotion, but I will collect my pay. I shall not concern myself with politics, nor compete for divine favor. I shall goof off every day until I've had my fill. I am the clear stream of the clergy, the example for otherworlders, the happy-go-lucky man who stands against the gods, the hope for a two-day weekend, the call to awaken the masses, the sturdy shield that protects our holidays. I dedicate my life and glory to myself, tonight and every night henceforth."
In an empty church, Priest Paul made this vow to himself.
