Intelligence is nothing but knowing
Wisdom being life's understanding
Reality, what you perceive it to be.

The Nobility of life is marked by none of these.
Instead, by what you stand for,
By what you believe yourself to be.

To gain respect you must believe yourself worthy of it.
Self respect has to exist before any other.

To give love, you must first have love of yourself.
To receive it, means you have decided you deserve it.

At your core is your Integrity and Honour.
If you wont make a stand for these,
Then your identity is lost to you
And in your eyes, not worth defending.

Your honour is how you mark yourself,
Who you declare yourself to be.
In this you are unmovable.
Your declaration is neither attack nor defence,
Simply you, willing yourself to be.
