Born today, you have a habit of withdrawing into yourself in times of stress and of being oblivious to the kinds of things that others are far more likely to stand up and fight against -- but this is not because you are incapable of making a stand, but rather because you are very careful to choose your battles, and more often than not, you prefer to leave a particular fight in the hands of others and save yourself for those few causes that you feel are really worth your time and effort.
