aristela: Promise me, promise me this day, promise me now,while the sun is overhead exactly at the zenith, promise me:Even as they strike you downwith a mountain of hatred and violence;even as they step on you and crush you like a worm,even as they dismember and disembowel you,remember, brother, remember: man is not your enemy.The only thing worthy of you is compassion —-invincible, limitless,unconditional.Hatred will never let you face the beast in man.
