Animus and Empathy were strolling arm and arm
Through the ups and downs of life a'winding through the dharm'
Empathy said "calm, be calm", You're needlessly insistant...
Animus said "gentle souls but rock and roll, I am god's assistant"

And as they went, one badly bent, One leaning his direction
Resistance was an ardent cause for love lost and defection
But Empathy could love, you see, and win without detection
And after a year twas heard a cheer, they gave birth to "Discretion".

So... are they inseperable parts of a dualistic whole, or extremes that resist the better parts of both... Or just reactions to the dull median... ttr
