You Have To Be Afraid

In This World, Where We Find Ourselves, We Need Compassion More Than Anything, I Think, Or We Are All Alone.

We Salvage What We Can, What Truly Matters To Us, Even At The Gates Of Despair.

A Hard Truth: That Courage Can Be Without Meaning Or Impact, Need Not Be Rewarded, Or Even Known. The World Has Not Been Made In That Way. Perhaps, However, Within The Self There Might Come A Resonance, The Awareness Of Having Done Something Difficult, Of Having Done . . . Something.

The World Could Bring You Poison In A Jewelled Cup, Or Surprising Gifts. Sometimes You Didn't Know Which Of Them It Was.
