I choose to listen on empty ears, than speak with a full mouth.

I choose to live wise, than deal with lies.

I choose brutal honesty over exposure to any deceit.

I choose to love, than despise.

I choose to liberate freedom, than constrict it.

And I would rather choose to change how I see,

than expect others to change how they are.
