Basic
Calm under Pressure
… Controlling
that (Inner) Burn.
‘Desire’ temperature
-rises at the same
speed as ‘Anger’
… yet, branches off
a bit before ‘Boiling’.
Courage is not
found at centre point
of ‘Fight or Flee’
… it is Uneven,
and Unbalanced…
the ‘HARD ROAD’
… which is why
it’s (Normally) Quiet.
