I must make efforts to be more generous.
What about you?
[2] Resent if you want, but like me,
you are running out of time too.
I have no time to be hateful anymore;
I must make efforts to be more compassionate.
What about you?
[3] Speculate if you want, but like me,
you are running out of time too.
I have no time to be deluded anymore;
I must make efforts to be more wise.
What about you?
[4] Be proud if you want, but like me,
you are running out of time too.

I must make efforts to be more humble.
What about you?
[5] Be ambivalent if you want, but like me,
you are running out of time too.
