#[0] Heyhey I know you're no fool. You're a pervy sage. It's just impressive to talk to someone that has greater perception than that of a pebble.
I do get to put it down sometimes, and it grows lighter as I grow older. I have a long way to go in a lot of ways, but I've gone very far already so I do not doubt that I will rise to the challenges of life one step at a time.
You have a unique form of mercy. It's not that you don't give mercy to smaller things, you do, but your mercy is a challenge. You kick a little dust in their face and taunt them "If you are worthy, prove yourself." In a world of people who say "You're fine as you are," you say "Become better." And only when someone proves themselves, do you grant them solace.
