I'm not unlike you.  Even though I am old and you are young, we share the same past, present, and future.

Having doubts are you?  Tell me, are you afraid?  How can you be afraid of that which you do not know?  Look into my eyes and search out my inner being.  For it is the same as yours.

Now, stop the whimpering and let your body stop trembling.  Let peace come upon your very soul and listen carefully to my story.   In time it will lead you to a strength you never knew you had.
