quote:

I implore you to let go your bitterness as it does not become your positive nature. If you allow our adversaries to control your emotions, then you give them mastery over your very soul; you fall into the trap of ultimately becoming what you oppose and lose the best attributes that comprise your very essence. As I've come to know you, I have grown confident in your ability to see the good in any situation and your tenacity in conquering adversity, qualities that I admire very much in my friends. Difficult as the challenges ahead may be, the steepest mountains to be climbed do not originate from without, but from within. I am confident that you are worthy of these challenges and can overcome them, and offer a hand in friendship that we may walk this rocky path together and refuse to allow our adversaries to defeat our spirits. If your strength should falter, I will gladly offer a portion of my own, as I am doing now. Our incarceration will be difficult, but short; our victory will be hard-fought, but glorious. We will rise from the ashes of defeat and persevere to destiny. Die Wahrheit macht frei.
