cynicism begets apathy
apathy begets immobility
immobility begets self-pity
self-pity begets depression
depression begets deterioration
deterioration begets death
from death comes life
hope begets faith
faith begets understanding
understanding begets wisdom
wisdom begets inspiration
inspiration begets innovation
innovation begets independence
independence begets life
