Discord

Written by: Eris, Goddess of Chaos
Date: Saturday, September 26th, 1998
Addressed to: Daedalus, Guardian of Balance


As you know, one of my many names is also Discordia. Please pray
tell how the land is "so often imperilled ... [by] Discord"? Discord,
conflict and trials are the impetus upon which mortals evolve and
grow. In any event, how a "legion of Guardians" intends to "maintain
the Balance" by presumably battling "Discord" (i.e., me) is rather
perplexing.

The only possible result of opposing the forces of Discord, the
force that challenges mortals to reach beyond themselves in other
words, is to create more Discord. Opposition in and of itself creates
conflict and conflict is simply another manifestation of Discord,
which is an aspect of Chaos. Do you seek to promote Chaos through
opposition? Or are these "Guardians" going to promote some type
of peace and harmony through non-oppositional means (i.e., pacifists)?

Please clarify whether or not your "Balance" is simply a mechanism
to oppose Discord (an aspect of Chaos) ... which of course will simply
create more Discord, or whether your "Balance" seeks to promote
peace and harmony through non-discordant (pacifistic) means.
