conscious of the disastrous errors and abuses to
which you were wont to call my attention; and
yet I know that I am far from possessing the
requisite strength to meet with success, however
valiantly I might struggle to shatter the bulwarks

Question:

What were his errors?

Answer (optional):

The philosopher's young companion expresses that his errors stem from a deep-seated dissatisfaction with the current system of education and instruction, which is fraught with "disastrous errors and abuses." He is also aware that he lacks the "requisite strength" to successfully fight against these errors by himself, leading him to despair and choose a life of "comfortless solitude."
