The more we rehearse the worse we become.”
― Usman Ali, The Guilt

The more we rehearse the worse we become.

Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard,
It seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come.

Fear is an aid to the warrior. It is a small fire burning. It heats the muscles, making us stronger. Panic comes when the fire is out of control, consuming all courage and pride.

The worst place to be is where you lose the reasons to be.

Life is like the drama on a stage.
What was once declared as a sin,
perhaps much worse nowadays.
