The wars will never end. I have no reason to give you, but I assure you they will not. The lives of millions will not fix it. As long as Lord Sartan and His followers exist, Lady Aurora and Her followers will see no peace. And the other way around as well, of course. No side will ever vanquish the other, because such an act would destroy balance and I believe Lord Daedalus would never allow that. This leads me to the question of why do we do it...a question I have no answer for. Perhaps Good, Evil, Darkness, Justice, Righteousness, Death and Balance all reside within the mortal soul, as the Gods are all splinters of the being that is Sarapis, the Logos? A rough wording of my beliefs, have no doubt, but a start..further polishing will probably come from more time spent with the history books. This sort of pondering is quite new to me after all.
(I had some credits left over after Transcending vision. Meditating takes forever when you're a Troll, so I put the last 25 or so into Philosophy and am now skilled...beware what might happen if I transcend it. Yes this is semi OOC *g*)
Anyways, you make think I see the whole struggle as pointless then. Of course not. Not when it's so enjoyable! So my advice to you all is to get nice and used to it, because it's not going anywhere, and then learn to appreciate and enjoy it. There is nothing more pure, more exciting, than leading a band of your allies to attempt to kill a similar band of your enemies, be it at North of Thera, Delos, approaching Ashtan, approaching Shallam...can anyone say, in one of these moments, they were thinking of any 'real' reason and not just 'They're there, it's our duty to kill them'? And then we all die, pray, and do it all over again.
Ahh.
Once again I start rambling attempting to share my beliefs with you. I think I'm done. And Molotov, let's just stop wasting good ink and space now.
