Y0u 0ught t0 st0p asking me h0w these letters find y0u. Y0u sh0uld realize by n0w that y0u're never g0ing t0 get a satisfact0ry explanati0n. Simply accept that my abilities are genuine. And as I said t0 y0u previ0usly, y0ur refusal t0 believe a thing d0es n0t make it any less true.
C0nsider. You refuse t0 accept that my abilities are such as I have described, and yet empirical pr00f w0uld suggest that I have been h0nest with y0u. Why sh0uld I be any less h0nest when I tell y0u that y0ur eff0rts will ultimately fail? You are 0ne simple tr0ll standing against an entire empire. I have been w0rking al0ng similar paths for l0nger than y0u can imagine, and I will c0ntinue t0 d0 s0 l0ng after y0u are g0ne. Y0ur acti0ns, th0ugh n0ble, will n0t have the effect 0n the empire that y0u dream 0f. Is this s0 difficult t0 accept? Y0u must be aware 0f the p0wer y0u face, and t0 qu0te Y0U, "it must always be better t0 face an difficult truth than a pleasant lie." H0w then, is it that I find y0u still clinging like a wiggler t0 th0se c0mf0rtable falsehoods that bring y0u c0mf0rt? Y0u must admit that my relati0nship with time g0es bey0nd the simple linear path y0u f0ll0w. What reas0n d0 I have t0 lie t0 y0u? The future is immutable. Alternate paths will pass and wither, and y0ur future and mine are already set in st0ne. I d0 n0t say that y0ur acti0ns are unnecessary, because they are crucial t0 that ultimate future. I simply say that they will n0t have the effect that y0u seek. If this failure is critical t0 the future that must 0ccur, is that not an even better 0utc0me than y0u dream 0f? And if it is n0t, and y0u cling t0 y0ur ideals in the face 0f truth, are you n0t acting in a manner c0ntrary t0 y0ur 0wn teachings? I have seen y0ur death and mine, and they are b0th inevitable and necessary. It is the truth, whether you ch00se t0 accept it or n0t. I 0nly challenge that y0u wish others t0 live by y0ur teachings when you fail t0 d0 s0 y0urself, and yet y0u seek t0 be a leader 0f tr0lls. I 0nly lead myself, and I 0ften w0nder whether I am str0ng en0ugh t0 d0 that much. Leave y0ur reply wherever y0u wish. I will find it. |
