I must learn to love the fool in me - the one who
feels too much, talks too much, takes too many
chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks
self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt,
promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries.
It alone protects me against that utterly self-
controlled, masterful tyrant whom I also harbor
and who would rob me of human aliveness,
humility, and dignity but for my fool.
Theodore Isaac Rubin
