The Mighty Pawn

You’ve got to be patient and observe every detail.

Strengths, weaknesses—it's survival of the fittest.

But how can I survive if I'm not fit to kill or hurt?

Yet it seems I'm fit to kill or hurt myself, like Saturn devouring his son.

But for what?

Or for whom?

At the end of the day, the opinions and judgments of others will vanish, perish from this world where we assign meaning to thoughts.

But tell me, how do you weigh the value of the meaning you hold so dearly when everyone has their own measures?

You can only hope they will understand while you try to understand everyone, like a chess player trying to foresee the future.

Which move is best?

What can I expect?

If you lose your Queen, you lose, but what about the other pieces?

They have wills of their own and can overthrow the opponent when used right. Even a pawn can become the mighty Queen.
