To the North
They think of things in simple polar states
Black or white is all
On and off
Wrong and right
To the South
They consider the opposite view prime
Only the opposite matters
Contrariness is the norm
Contradiction a state of being
To the West
The end of things looms large
The finish line defines the race
The last step reveals the journey
That we stop is a point to reflect upon
To the East
The journey is itself the reason
Experience brings understanding
Pursuit of the horizon creates perspective
Each step taken deliberately is correct
Every misstep creates a new journey
