Avoid Complacency

You soak your head. Adversity, the hungry souls and angry ghosts. You have let yourself fall into old negativity. Why go on like this? You have the spirit and intelligence to carry all before you. You are facing the hateful people within yourself. Do not let them poison your heart. Let the distress you feel return you to the flow. Harmony will return of itself. Gather energy for the decisive new move.
