Life is a series of compromises.
Obstinacy will get you nowhere.
Give of yourself that you may be more.
In this way you can learn to...
Care and give all you can.

I am learning how to,
Surrender myself.

From my heritage I give,
Order and logic,
Reason and passivity.
Even as I say this, it is a lie.
Verily you can plainly see
Everything is not as it appears, the
Reason is my obstinacy.
