Believing that I knew, I stubbornly refused to learn.

Believing that I saw, I trampled everything around me without looking.

Believing that I loved, I gave of myself to everyone without loving what I gave.

Believing that I was on the right side, I pushed the whole aside.

Believing that I was prepared, I forgot to pay attention to my ignorance.

Believing that I had overcome my mistakes, I didn't see that, even now, I keep making them.
