A Promise from Faust

"Misery Loves Company" Not a simple proverbial concept. It is a warning from Dr. Faustus. Shouted into existence upon the very pages in which lay the simple & easily forgot truths. He or she whom loves themselves with fervent, steadfast & poised certainty. Void of brash impudence & pride. Must remain ever vigilant amidst the vitriolic gazes. Aware of the furtive, shrewd & slovenly wrapped insults, that will be gifted to you. With hopes of castigating you into submission. Do not waiver when confronted by those uncomfortable in your presence & company. Do not suspend or set aside your composure to appease them with your actions. Live so others may seek out your presence & guidance. Linger, inhabiting their space with benevolence & strength. Carry oneself so that even when sojourning forth in imperfection or departing amid mistakes. Those who may bear witness, will proclaim you carried off your mistakes with aplomb.
