Not everything can be successfully avoided. If you really find yourself in a situation you can't escape, then trust the choice your heart makes.
Why should I make the first move on someone who starts out prejudiced against women? All right, I misspoke. Not make a move, but show a smile and demonstrate the breadth of my heart. Huh? Isn't that General Lan's line? I quoted it out of context. I'll go reflect on that.

There was absolutely no way I would end up paying for it with myself.
History is a story that repeats itself, and civilizations always share similarities. But without personally experiencing the changing tides, how could anyone truly understand how hard life is for ordinary people?
