Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light
and yes junwen, you were right about the core

I'm tired of hearing about principles and theories and postulations. Apparently they go nowhere and no matter how much you think about what should or should not be done, what is ir isn't right, where and how far one should go, a basic truth still stands -
That we are fallible and human, and governed above all by the changeability of the human heart.
I never understood this until now.
Principles are, after all, what we make of them, and fallible humans that we are, we create exceptions, we construct situations, we excuse ourselves when these theories fail. After all, the instinct is for satisfaction and happiness. Truth and ethics are realized only with great and constant effort. It's not easy, but understand that you betray your own ideals even as you tell me of them.
To be fair, at least the only one to lie to is
yourself
