Never beg for what others get for free. Otherwise, you value yourself too little, and to ask to much then is to be perpetually disappointed. Find that balance, the middle mark on the testing rod.

From the Epistle To John Hamilton Reynolds by John Keats
......O that our dreamings all, of sleep or wake,
would all their colours from the sunset take:
from something of material sublime,
rather than shadow our own soul's daytime
in the dark void of night. For in the world
we jostle--but my flag is not unfurl'd
on the admiral-staff--and to philosophise
I dare not yet! Oh, never will the prize,
high reason, and lore of good and all,
be my award! Things cannot to the will
be settled, but they tease us out of thought;
or is it that imagination brough
beyond its proper bound, yet still confin'd,
lost in a sort of Purgatory blind,
cannot refer to any standard law
of either earth or heaven? It is a flaw
in happiness, to see beyond our bourn--
it forces us in summer skies to mourn,
it spoil the singing of the nightingale.......
-John Keats.
Welcome to the New Mindset and Clarity!
Only through faith does a person gain strength; that is the only sure way to do the unimaginable, the impossible.
A slave is lead around wherever, but a free man is set. A free man chooses.
What we see here, the pertinent appendages, are faith and freedom. The human heart and the human mind, divided can be mislead easier than any slave, and a man can take up fetters for any old reason without judging for himself.
