Whilst in the warmth we believe we can stand the cold,
whilst living compatibly we believe we are in love,
whilst in comfort we believe we can withstand pain,
whilst learning we believe we can teach,
whilst neutral we believe we can take sides,
whilst reading we believe we can write,
whilst in passion we believe we care,
whilst hearing we believe we already knew,
whilst sleeping we believe we'll awaken,
whilst criticizing we believe ourselves impeccable,
whilst energetic we demean the exhausted,
whilst calculating we dismiss the instinctive,
whilst acting we mock the contemplative,
whilst climbing we ignore the falling,
and whilst observing
we believe we can do better.
