I have a healthy respect for thunderstorms, but I have no illusions about controlling them.
I would say those mantras are fundamentally flawed in that regard. Ironically, I found a piece of fiction to be more applicable:
Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The last line is purely fiction-specific and as such I left it out. The words are solid, however. |
