Journal Entry: Reflections on mental clarity.

When your thoughts are tainted by what has crept in,

There is reason and there is unreason,

But what good does it do to carry the thoughts?

To govern yourself with composure is to have authority of your thinking—

Which precedes your actions.

Acknowledge your lapse in governing,

And search at depth for why that is so.
