If I spoke to maim,
if I spoke with venom,
you would not last,
you would not stand.
Take care to know that it is easy
to disable the fettered mind,
but much harder to show restraint
in the midst of
arrows aimed true.
I do not deny who I am,
I know of my errors.
Take care to know and
learn of yours.

Do not mistake kindness for cowardice.
