Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself. ()
Now that I am aware that others know suffering, joy, pain, and every other human feeling the same way, I work with softer weapons. They never hit a target and rarely claim immediate results. However, love and compassion have unexpected side effects. May those side effects explode outside the form of a poem.
