If you know where you should be in life, will you run from your purpose or embrace it knowing that something better can be ahead? If you know that you can be hurt in existence, do you wish for death or overcome the adversity that life brings into you? If you know that you can help in life, do you turn away your eyes or give more than you must to push all beyond their own natural limits? If you know that you can be a better person, do you continue on in a life where it is all selfishness or do you make a difference even at your own expense?
Reason for writing:
The difference between walking your path and letting shadows cast over it is KNOWING. "Know thy self to love thy self, love thyself to protect thyself, know thyself to love and protect others."
Birth sign: Scorpio
