@luhyoumf An enemy to themselves.

[Victoria @Vicky]

“A person who works with their hands is a laborer. A person who works with their hands and their brain is a craftsman. A person who works with their hands, their brain, and their heart is an artist.”

@lynk0x Organization distinguishes them moreso than conflicting ambitions.
