Education till you get a job,

methodology(a way of doing things) only in front of authority,
relationships only till meetings,
humanity only till the door ,
friendship only for need,
duty only till you need it(personal),
love till the fence ,
love only to seek meaning ,
right till you get destroyed ,
these are the realities/truth of today

Capturing the day’s cyclical energy, it is divided into three movements: I – Daytime, II – Evening, III – Dawn.
