I've tried to maintain a steady silence of late. I opted for a temporary moment of quiet in order to stop, listen, observe, reflect. I believe that it's fairly beneficial for one to, every once in a while, stop and look. The world becomes predictably clearer. People become the slightest bit easier to understand. Priorities are easier to sort. Et cetera. So I've taken such a moment. I can't say the same for all inhabitants. I digress. I'm stepping out of isolation now, in light of certain events, to address a number of things. A number of events, that is, and I think they can be soundly covered in two concepts.

Primarily, I feel compelled to mention that I've noticed several of us picking up quite a few of this century's less becoming qualities. Yet with all this adoption there still seems to be a firm rejection of one concept this era has developed that makes sense. Obviously, it'd be this idea that our divine friends and a handful of heroes ignore. And I suppose that makes sense, when you've been painted into a position of infallibility or ultimate idol, I imagined you'd not much like the idea that not everything is absolute. Not everything is so simple to be either wrong or right. Some--actually most--actions consist of both. And there's only a handful of things that really seem to be completely terrible, among these are the inability to comprehend this concept and a complete lack of self-control.

I mention the latter, of course, for a specific reason. Do tell what great and justifiable reason there is to assault the wife of the son of the man you have an issue with? And then going on to assault the son--only one step away from the "problem" this time? Where is the heroic effort in such a crime? And furthermore, where is "bravery" when the justification is an argument as sound as "they're all crazy" with no followup reason or evidence? And where is the "man" in that situation when any defiance is met with a tantrum. And where are these gods who favor such a creature?

I'm fairly displeased, if you can't tell by this point. And that's only grazing the top of the unfavorable events that have occurred. I request anyone with such immaturity and strength and a certain heel stay away from my family.

Electra--rosebud--lets talk about that vacation.
