As the author of the Seven Truths of Good, I feel it necessary to step
up and say a couple things about it.

Originally, when this was written back when I was a mere Valiant, it was
written to give a set of Truths that would be no less true, but at the
same time offer a Good and righteous alternative to the Seven Truths of
Lord Sartan.

I would like to make it clear that it was not intended as a mockery.

I feel that it's easy to consider something you don't agree with as
mockery or parody, but in truth that was not the point of the document
at all. I think simply referring to it as such means that you didn't
read them, you simply saw the correlation and decided to post about it.

I feel that there are no true Seven Truths that everyone will be able to
agree upon. If you wish to only see what I wrote as a parody and as
mockery, I cannot stop you. However, I ask everyone to read them
carefully and consider whether the words have any merit to them. If you
wish to believe that they do not, that is your right.

As for this supposed cowardice that I showed by not posting them, I
simply did not wish to. I knew that it would come down to this.
Name-calling and assumptions made on less than complete information, and
I would like to thank some of you for living up to the low expectations
that I set for you.

Below is another copy of the Seven Truths of Goodness, I invite everyone
to take a moment and read them again.

The Seven Truths of Goodness

1. What is called Good is simply the drive for advancement, for peace.
We seek, through decency and kindness, to spur the advancement of
nothing less than sentient life.

2. Decency - the application of respect - is the method by which one
starts to redeem the Evil and ignorant-minded within the population.

3. Evil must be eliminated in all its forms: Physical, Mental, and
Spiritual.

4. The enemies of faith are those who trumpet the ignorant values of
hate, intolerance, and disrespect.

5. The body may be made stronger through combat and through acts of
faith and belief.

6. The mind may be made stronger through the elimination of ignorance.
One does this by sharing the truth of Goodness with others.

7. The spirit may be made stronger by enduring hardships and tests of
faith, both self-imposed and externally-imposed. By never wavering in
our belief, we boldly affirm that we truly know within the depths of our
hearts the truth and faith we have in the path of Good.
