I believe that man is the augmentation of dust, and that death ends all but memory. I believe in the sufficiency of chance, the inescapability of time, and the interconnectedness of all things. I believe that defeat is permanent, and victory ephemeral.
I believe in the effort of listening, and the practise of stillness; that peace is better than war, and that war is better than submission. I believe permanence is an illusion of scale, and that knowledge is an illusion of history which works anyway.
I believe that what makes me like myself less, I should not do.
