"Bring peace to Chantes, and restore the sun."

I've seen and heard a lot of talk over how we're meant to accomplish this task.

To those of you who are new and those who have been here from the start, I'm curious- ideally, how would you like to see such a goal accomplished?

Then don't, simple as that. Fortunately, there are other souls who believe and act as if it is theirs, for better or worse.

I do not need to be lectured on human nature, either. But it is a path I intend to make -- make it different where it is not. Otherwise, it's another path to insanity to continuously think like that. Perhaps you ought to consider that, too. Or, you can continue wrapping yourself in that shell of yours in denial, whichever is easier for you. I won't abide by any delusions of "good" or "bad". Nothing is binary.

[ There are many thing he could say to this. How good and evil aren't the issue, how choice was taken from him long ago, how it's very possible he lost all hope, if not his sanity, trying to do the very thing she's proposing.

He knew the world was an ugly place, but he wanted a result where everyone was happy. He strove for it, worked for it, achieved a miracle where none would have been possible --

Perhaps her way of pursuing good is more balanced than his ever was. Perhaps she can do it in a way that will actually see results.

Either way, he sees nothing beautiful in that line of thinking she proposes. ]

Pursue your own path, Alice. Let it speak for you in the days to come.

Hypocrisy has never saved anyone.

I intend to.

However, hypocrisy, at this point I feel, should be the least of your concerns. Do as you please, but try not to make a mess.
