Selfish Schemes

I, too, am one of the common people. I, too, am one of all under heaven. So who will save me?

I am no sage, and even I cannot determine my own fate. Immersed in this mundane world, I ask for little, yet I have never achieved a single thing I sought.

I once believed in destiny, but I was wrong. Now I believe in power, in influence, in wickedness, and in evil. The only thing I don't believe in is fate.
