All my problems bow before my stubbornness.
Accomplishments donβt erase shame, hatred, cruelty, silence, ignorance, discrimination, low self-esteem or immorality. It covers it up, with a creative version of pride and ego. Only restitution, forgiving yourself and others, compassion, repentance and living with dignity will ever erase the past.
There is a fine line between stubbornness and stupidity as well as intensity and insanity.
