I walked home, seeing all my doubt from the other side. Have you ever seen that? Like when you go on holiday. On the way back, everything is the same but it looks a little different than it did on the way. It's because you're seeing it backwards. ↗

To relive the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption. ↗
