[0:01]And what do you sacrifice?
[0:12]Calm.
[0:16]Kindness, kinship. Love. I've given up all chance at inner peace. I made my mind a sunless place. I wake up every day to an equation I wrote 15 years ago for which there's only one conclusion. I'm damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my my eagerness to fight. I yearn to be a savior against injustice without contemplating the cost. And by the time I looked down, there was no longer any ground beneath my feet. What is my what is my sacrifice? I'm condemned to use the tools of my enemy to defeat them. I burn my decency for someone else's future. I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I'll never see. The ego that started this fight will never have a mirror or an audience or all the light of gratitude. So what do I sacrifice? Everything.
