To sacrifice all one holds dear
for another's dreams
is love.
To rejoice in their wishes
and not your own
is happiness.
To realize that over time
dreams may not come true
is wisdom.
To encourage them to fulfill their dreams
and never once leave their side
is trust.
To be born into a world
where everything is dead
and still try to seek out these things
is courage beyond measure.
But to be born into a world
where all things live
and you try not once to find these things
is complete and utter selfishness.
To quash another's dreams
to make yours come true
is evil.
To rejoice entirely in your wishes
and never once aknowledge those of others
is blindness.
To never see that over time
your "success" is not success at all
is foolishness.
To encourage others to be like you
and never once think on their own
is the most pitiful form of cowardice.
And it earns only one thing,
the pure hatred of all who know you.
