The world will break your heart.
It will get your hopes up and it will let you down.
Even the most well-meaning people will disappoint you.
And you will do the same to them.
No one is exempt from shortcomings or imperfection.
Your reliance must be upon something more permanent than human power.
YOUR RELIANCE
