Raw ability, removed of self-doubt, is the key to achievement.

Everything is a process leading to a result.
In order to achieve the best results
People wrack their minds, grit their teeth,
Apply themselves diligently, and sometimes even risk their lives.
However, attaining those results does not
Guarantee a happy ending.
Human tears and sobs of anger...
The results they strive for have always been such.
The truth cannot be known. They are all that realize this.
And so they took up the burden of false sin,
Living in the darkness where there is no light, believing in the
"Weiss" that lives somewhere in this city that had forgotten gentleness.
Weiss- Endlessly clear white.
-From Weiss Kreuz Radio Dramas

But to praise despair is to condem delight, to embrace violence is to lose hold of everything else. - "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas" by Ursula K. Le Guin
