Hardship And Hygiene,

are what children feel when deferring to parents
on how to live. From diligence in following instructions
comes the discovery that hygiene, and the distance
at which they are kept are always built on lies.
With hardship life always works out differently
from how they were told it will be. After that
apologies are as useful and common as hens teeth.
As adults the greatest trick the poor and choice-less
can learn will be to extract the gift of humility
from the curse of depression, to move quicker
towards reason, and be more genuinely forgiving.
An ambition that works needs to be free of vanity.
