I denounce because though implicated and partially responsible, I have been hurt to the point of abysmal pain, hurt to the point of invisibility. And I defend because in spite of all I find that I love. In order to get some of it down I have to love… too much of your life will be lost, its meaning lost, unless you approach it as much through love as through hate.
