That's why i'm a writer and not a philosopher Hon. Imply isn't 'is'. If you feel that my omission (as it were) negates the virtues you list then you've reached your own delightful interpretation of what I wrote.

This is why William and a lot of folks smarter than me love that whole Roland Barthes the 'Author is dead' line of reasoning. What I intended is moot compared to how you choose to interact with what I wrote.

Cool.

For me I simply sought the most aesthetically pleasing way of expressing this idea: An invocation of strength within the sphere of our exsistence for we need that strength to carry the weight of our own personal experiences that make up our character (including Truth, Loyalty, Acceptance, Honour, Peacemaking, and Humility which are really a subset of character for me and not a mutually exclusive part of it and also the very opposite Lies, deciet, prejudice, greed, avarice and pride which also form a burden of character to be carried).

But I know you love to debate and that for some, for arguements sake is sake enough.
