"Battle not with monsters
lest ye become a monster,
and if you gaze into the abyss,
the abyss gazes also into you...."
Friedrich Nietzche.
The struggle with inner demons
old as time.
The darkness that sometimes consumes
and cannot be avoided
must be tamed, controlled.
For I am not the victim
yet - if the monster is not constrained...
I leave a trail of victims
the innocent.
In my heart - that is a true sin....
"The purpose of life is not to be happy.
It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate,
to have it make a difference that you have lived and lived well."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
