True. Although to extend the metaphor, if you find yourself in a situation where willow bark is available and aspirin in not, the right choice is willow bark.

"Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken."
