Line 3 - Pessimism
The belief that what is best can never be achieved.
Exaltation: A lack of trust that can only be transformed through concrete evidence. Openness that is conditioned by suspicion and seeks evidence.
Detriment: Pessimism exalted to an art form, where as art, it may have the opposite effect. Satire. Where the rightness of suspicion can inspire satire.
Line 4 - Fatigue
The point of exhaustion eventually reached when one is too tired to fight.
Exaltation: The renaissance that comes with truce and its eventual reinvigoration. Openness which leads to exhaustion and the need for silence.
Detriment: Emotional exhaustion. Appeasement and withdrawal. A role where openness is a vulnerability.
