Saturday Victory Over The Self

"We improve ourselves by victories over ourselves. There must be contest, and we must win."

- Edward Gibbon

Hmmm. Well -- I've fought against my own fears of the unknown by coming here to Secundus. And my prejudices about Touched, Igors, Reanimated, Fabricated, Automatons. And my belief that I had to follow my parents in everything. And not only have I won against all of these, my life is much better for it. So I would have to agree with Mr. Gibbon. By fighting against outdated beliefs and fears, you make yourself all the better.

Maybe it's about time I faced up to another fear of mine. . .
