Helen of Troy

It is not your fault.
The moment was right. Decisions were proper.
Though norm expects discreetness, don't mind what shall uncover.

Don't look back to what has done.
For regret and doubt will ruin legacy.
And time so golden will rid its glisten and build up intricacy.

Or has intricacy already set place?
If so, be unprepared for expectation.
For spontaneity and impulsiveness shall construct truthful reaction.

Don't even prepare for victory.
Win only because the theatre of war is understood precisely.
Power lies not in the smell of defeat, but rather in the humility over victory.

Purpose is not overcome.
There is neither a cause nor a culprit.
Triumph is not when a foe is defeated.
Triumph is when you realize the reason for why you defeated it.

"Power lies not in the smell of defeat, but rather in the humility over victory" - I like this line a lot. A victor almost always forces their will on their enemy because physically defeating them isn't alway enough. They need to break the enemy's spirit too.
