What do you even mean by requesting me to melt the ice around my heart?
And what do you mean by springing up to life?
Can you draw a clear distinction between emotional cold and a proper resistance to irrelevant disturbance?
Do you know which way proper affection
must be directed, and which way you must be as unfeeling as a solid rock?
Or did you perhaps want to say that everybody, following your example, should embrace what is commonly known as the "spring of youth"
, indulging themselves in futile pleasures, running as a wild god
, seeking a place where they could get a sweet bone to gnaw at
, so they may feel justified about not missing out on wasting precious years of their life chasing temptation
? Do you perhaps think that by surrendering to desires and running after pleasure
will make you happy, will make you feel fulfilled?
But pleasure
is not good
, and running after pleasure
, making it a goal in itself is Evil
. Do you not know how the desires turn you into a sick person
? First you are running to find community, to associate with people, but the belly of a desire is boundless, so once you satisfied one compulsion
, another arises, and then yet another and so until you are compelled to seek more and more
, but in the end, you never feel truly satisfied, never stop this frantic flailing about the world in the vain hope
to achieve constancy of mind in the realm of perpetual chaos and Evil
. Did you now learn already that true contentment is found in the Fight

can you approach happiness
. Only withing the Fight
you can clear you mind to sumanegree that you can distinguish between what is conductive to good
and what leads away from it
. Only by exercising utmost attention to your every action, every thought, every judgement you can truly relieve yourself from the pain of incessant desires
. Join the Resistance

to prove that it can not stand against those who follow the way of the Fight
