passion balance tugging
The balance is the penalty of being human: the danger of allowing yourself to feel. For this we walk a narrow path high above rocky ground. On one side we have the descent into animalism, on the other a godhead delusion. Both pulling at us, both tempting. But without these forces tugging at your psyche, stirring it into conflict, you can never love. They awaken us, you see, these warring sides, they arouse our passion.
long resistance life-is
The penalty for a long life is increasing resistance to change.
order sometimes
Sometimes you have to do what’s wrong in order to do what’s right.
