“This is how it is.”
It is natural to make decisions this way.
This is how it should be done in such cases.

It is also natural for everyone
To harbor “abominations” that possess their mind
Without even being aware of it.

Biases and distortions seep into our minds
Both in the way we value things and
In the way we relate to others.

When we become aware of such tricks on us
We can release
Half of the shackles of the mind.

We can then embrace great freedom
To feel the world directly and
Interact with people as they are.

We will then have the power
To change the future.
