That which I cannot understand, I fear.

That which I fear, I criticize.

 That which I criticize, I weaken.

That which I weaken, I destroy.

That which I destroy, I lose.

That which I lose, I cannot understand.

 

That which I cannot understand, I fear.

That which I fear, I criticize.

 That which I criticize, I weaken.

That which I weaken, I destroy.

That which I destroy, I lose.

That which I lose, I cannot understand….
