Those that are convinced are in no need of convincing. How long will I stand here shaking this jar of oil and water to achieve a harmonious blend. Now that my arms have grown weary and my mind frustrated, I sit and shake the immiscible instead. I came in peace, but went in pieces. Seeing the futility, I stop the effort and allow the separation to be just as it is. I can bless my adversary and move along peacefully. To make amends or interfere (enter-fear) with the antithetical is useless.
