Strength and Truth

Written by: Initiate of Honour, Tariel De'Silve-Leonis
Date: Saturday, November 8th, 2003
Addressed to: Father Detritus, "Dusty."


I beg to defer on your idea of Strength and Truth. Strength does not
come from blindly following what others tell you and claim to be Truth.
Strength comes from following the beliefs of your own heart and your own
morals. By that definition, all who stand up for their own beliefs are
strong, Good or Evil alike.

To rest of you. If you are shied into following a path by being told
that you are weak for not doing so, then you are indeed the weak fool
they call you to be. Stand by your beliefs, regardless of what you're
told, and fortify that strength by joining forces with those who share
beliefs similar to yours. Good, Evil, Neutral, utterly moronic, it
doesn't matter, the same principle applies. Just as light and shadows
remain in an endless cycle of reluctant mutualism, there will always be
conflict in this world. The importance is that you are not swayed by
others and walk the path that -you- choose. Just by doing so, you have
already proven your strength.

Penned by my hand on the 17th of Mayan, in the year 348 AF.
