The Meekest Of Animals Will Fight Bravely

Is Yours An Honest Lament? ... Most Are Not, You Know. Most Self-imposed Burdens Are Founded On Misperceptions. We - At Least We Of Sincere Character - Always Judge Ourselves By Stricter Standards Than We Expect Others To Abide By. It Is A Curse, I Suppose, Or A Blessing, Depending On How One Views It... Take It As A Blessing, My Friend, An Inner Calling That Forces You To Strive To Unattainable Heights.

Drizzt Had Always Suspected It, But Now It Was Confirmed, That "welcome" Was His Favortie Word In The Common Tongue, And A Word, He Understood With No Equivalent In The Language Of The Drow.

Emotion Clouds The Rational, And Many Perspectives Guide The Full Reality. To View Current Events As A Historian Is To Account For All Perspectives, Even Those Of Your Enemy. It Is To Know The Past And To Use Such Relevant History As A Template For Expectations. It Is, Most Of All, To Force Reason Ahead Of Instinct, To Refuse To Demonize That Which You Hate, And To, Most Of All, Accept Your Own Fallibility.

To Any Intelligent Being, There Is No Emotion More Important Than Hope. Individually Or Collectively, We Must Hope That The Future Will Be Better Than The Past, That Our Offspring, And Theirs After Them, Will Be A Bit Closer To An Ideal Society, Whatever Our Perception Of That Might Be... It Is At Those Times When We Feel We Are Contributing To That Ultimate End... We Feel True Elation.

And The Real Thing Can Kill You Whether You Believe In It Or Not.
