Deal not in overbearing understanding or in favor that is too quick to rest, for when you do you shall find a lion and not the lamb you first perceived. Those who have hurt themselves most severely have used the means they thought best suited to their character, and not the situation. Those who have hurt others most severely have used the means they thought best suited the situation, and not the other. It is a given that pain will be dealt; that it will be felt. Yet is it too difficult a task to seek in one's doing the best interest of that thing which is not so easily contained in one's mind?
Effusive greetings and flattery aside, deal directly with that which you have so vaguely been entrusted. And if you know not that which has been entrusted to you, or you doubt that it has been entrusted at all, then with even more caution and reserve, control yourself in such a manner that those around, seeking that which they cannot understand will be humbled. This intended humbling is not for the purpose of mechanical dissatisfaction; progress, but rather for the purpose of remaining within that which you never had the right to leave in the first place. The danger of leaving this first place is that in leaving, a mind is all that changes its location, as the physical has all but passed away already, a victim to understanding and favor.
So easily understanding a new experience as to completely kill within that experience any chance of growth or development we deceive ourselves. And so quickly favoring the other, as to literally smother him within that experience of life which is wished for, dreamt of, and rarely enjoyed, especially by those who claim to have it; we submerge ourselves within our pathetic dreams. The misappropriation of thoughts never did sit well within my mind, and neither does this, but as it is clearly important in its pure relation to reflection, I will write it out in full public declaration of its importance, writing, as it were, the warrant for the arrest of a criminal whom I hope to never see again.
