My children, to me each is perfect, but none are without flaws or failings. They all struggle against many terrible things and try though I may, I cannot always or even often protect them.

[pet...]

Perhaps because I am their mother goddess, I share their nature, to always strive for what I know I cannot wholly achieve. But you know, though 'honor' is not among my domains, if I were to describe my children, that ceaseless struggle would certainly be a virtue.

Do keep struggling.
