Sermons and Warnings
The utility you seek will use you in the same way.
The finalism you pursue and the strategy you employ prevent you from improvising.
Excessive protection leaves you unprotected.
Lack of risk terrifies you.
Lies build reality but do not withstand time.
If you took a step, repenting and denying it will not make it go away.
By going off the stage you have nearly made us forget your performance.
Your ambition kindles avarice and your generosity compassion. Choose.
Paths which lead nowhere at least allow us to forget about the way.
