☀️ Arselia and Akonia

- So, you don't believe in a higher purpose? Does that make you one of those heretics who deny the divine plan? With that kind of talk, you're bound to end up in an asylum sooner or later. There's a perfectly valid answer to everything you've said: there are emotions of a lower order, and there are emotions of a higher order. If you measure your life by the number of pies with garp meat you've eaten, or the amount of trashy books you've read, or the times you've relieved yourself in the bushes, you'll see the path of an animal, stretching from feeding trough to feeding trough and from one fleeting stimulation to another. Such an existence is incapable of offering a human being any real happiness, only momentary and quickly fading pleasure. Only the path to something complex and great, marked by difficulties, perhaps even reaching the point of suffering, can fully satisfy a person's desire for happiness and their will to live. In the process of accomplishing a great deed, upon achieving it, and then looking back, regardless of how much time has passed since its completion, a person will realize that their life has meaning not simply because it exists, but because it has been affirmed in this world by their unwavering will. That's why great kings reshape the world, even though they could simply rest from cradle to grave in their harems; that's why travelers sail off into the unknown, facing certain death; and that's why people like me will answer your previous question with a "yes." Due to age or life circumstances, you may not yet realize or agree with this, but sooner or later you will understand it if you live long enough. One thing remains unclear to me: if you're such a free spirit who does your current tasks reluctantly, what's stopping you from running away – for example, right now? I don't see you wearing an exploding collar.
