The Worst Thing 6
The flaw is that we can only grow so far.
Those who are most successful
are those who fool the most people.
Those truly dedicated to the truth,
therefore, are doomed to fail.
Destined to fail.  Designed to fail.
You should have distinguished yourself more carefully
if you didn't want to be mistaken for one of my enemies.

Guilt does not accrue from harmless action.
What you didn't tell me
was your responsibility.
What I didn't hear was mine.
The worst thing is to love someone
who doesn't know how to love.
