Defense is the stronger form with the negative object, and attack the weaker form with the positive object.

Anyone can be a fisherman in May.

After writing a story I was always empty and both sad and happy, as though I had made love.

There are many good fishermen and some great ones. But there is only one you.

Before we take to the sea, we walk on land. . . Before we create, we must understand. . .

You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintery light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person died for no reason.
