About the Feature
No matter the size of window,
nor the contrary force
with which it resists,
when the window breaks
the outcome is evening.
There is only one method
for self-reflection. To achieve
a quiet mind you must first
hear it speak. Then you must
talk back to your mind
until you talk it to death.
