I walk on my path of life. A girl appears on my right side. A boy on my left. "Don't give up!" shouts the boy. "Don't give in!" shouts the girl. They seem eager to control my life.
Since they don't show a sign of leaving I become frustrated. They keep shouting their "inspirational" phrases. "Don't give up!" after "Don't give in!" after "Don't give up!" and so on.
I stop walking. I look to my left and to my right and say: "Why shouldn't I? Why shouldn't I give up? Young mister, if your mother never gave up on her old unworking relationship, she would never have found your father - and you wouldn't exist. Young miss, if your father never gave in to your mother's temptations - you wouldn't exist."
