*****
In yourself deep conviction
In me obsession
In yourself independent opinion
In me delusion
In yourself gut instinct
In me baseless assumption
In yourself preventive action
In me jumping the gun
In you righteous indignation
In me a negative tone
In you far-seeing
In me illusion
In you healthy repudiation
In me cowardly retreat
