There are some who do not waver; they take the hit and proceed,
there are others who hesitate, doubtful that they can do it, but they try,
some lay down their weapons and surrender,
and others work at trying to live with that.
This last group is interesting:
learning to live with pain,
moving next to the enemy to steal some of its strength,
keeping a low profile and annulling every reaction...
Just wait hoping for an improvement,
without acting to second it,
observe the events,
but firmly standing in place.
The mind prevails over the heart,
a rational idea insists,
and overcomes the natural instinct,
to autonomously save itself.
Fatalism? Acceptance? Patience?
Surrender? Submission?
How can we define this attitude?
Passivity always seems to win out.
Passive acceptance is dangerous,
the risk is to tolerate, welcome,
justify and so to approve,
finally eliminating the tension which leads to change.
The battles of those who affront their own monsters,
are trials which can wear them out,
it is better to seek clarity of intentions,
instead of the ambiguity of artificial quietude.
