Breakthrough (Resoluteness) in Love

The long-tolerated thing is ready to go — the habit, the dynamic, the topic that's been draining the bond for months. The Judgment's protocol is precise. Declare it openly and truthfully: no hints, no campaigns, the matter named at court. Warn your own city first: identify your contribution before announcing theirs — the fault being expelled outside must be found within, or it returns wearing your clothes. And no resort to arms: don't fight contempt with contempt, coldness with coldness; evil directly combated drags you into its methods and wins even while losing. After the breakthrough, the second resoluteness (line 6's warning): no relapse, no complacency — the last quiet remnant of the old pattern, indulged, regrows the whole thing.

The breakthrough is with your own remaining obstruction — the final attachment, doubt, or habit standing between you and being genuinely available. You know its name. Resolve it wholly: the weeds of line 5 regrow from any fragment fondly spared — the ex's number kept "just in case," the story about being unlovable retold once a week. Expect the bespattered stretch (line 3): choosing resolution while still in contact with the old situation looks compromised from outside; walk it with inner resolve and let the murmuring pass. And check your strength honestly before bold moves (line 1): breakthroughs begun beyond capacity entrench what they attack.
