It is not I who asks you to serve the great unknown, nor do I ask you to be accountable for your sins.  I do not ask you to stand up and be counted amongst the enlightened, if you do not want to, then sit down.  I have not asked you to walk this path, it is up to you to put your boots on.  I am not a link to a promise.  I am not an insister but an advisor.  I cannot see your future, it is up to you to open your eyes.  I cannot speak words of wisdom to you if your comprehension to them is lost.   It is not I who places value upon you, for you must earn your own esteem.  I do not place you above others, all reach their own heights within.   I do not condemn you as I am not your victim, I do not sentence you as I am not your judge.  I am your watchful shadow and what I do is call upon you with my request.  Heed my words, for all are their own deliverers and redeemers.

Given to me by Gideon a long time ago.....
