“I am generous because I've been poor,

cautious because I've been naive,

strong because I've been afraid,

clever because I've been foolish,

mighty because I've been weak,
kind because I’ve been downtrodden,
cheerful because I’ve been miserable,
patient because I’ve been reckless,
modest because I’ve been humbled,
calm because I’ve been confused,
friendly because I’ve been ostracized,
noble because I’ve been dishonoured,
loyal because I’ve been betrayed,
confident because I’ve been nervous,
pleasant because I’ve been malicious,
chaste because I’ve been depraved,
principled because I’ve been unethical,
just because I’ve been persecuted,
and tolerant because I’ve been discriminated against.”
