Inspired by A Handful of Dates and the idea of the narrator's difficulty in reconciling his grandfather's actions and mentality to the compassion and sense of justice for Masood. This compass represents the navigation we all must maneuver in life. It also recognizes the reality that we can benefit both ourselves and others, to accomplish one is not to deny the other. In my life I hope to find ways to consistently benefit everyone I interact with.

“You must therefore zealously guard in his mind the curious assumption 'My time is my own.' Let him have the feeling that he starts each day as the lawful possessor of twenty-four hours. Let him feel as a grievous tax that portion of this property which he has to make over to his employers, and as a generous donation that further portion which he allows to religious duties. But what he must never be permitted to doubt is that the total from which these deductions have been made was, in some mysterious sense, his own personal birthright.”
