GAD THE ANGST. *sob* This is the first time in my rediculous amounts of reading where I've come across this idea that dreams are bad. There was this little story one of the elders was telling, and the man she loved was consumed by his dream and it destroyed him and twisted into something horrible. I have never seen that before. Dreams are always the things doing the saving, not the destroying. I find that very unsettling. Yeeeeee.
And now, an angsty excert that makes me headwall!~
Well, all I can say is what I know. It's this - you can betray someone with a word or an action. You can betray them with silence or inaction too. And in betraying that one person you can betray a whole world. I've seen almost thirty thousand sunups - that's more than eighty years in old time - and that's the most important thing I've learned. Except that the opposite might also be true. So yes, I think it's worth risking everything to save another person's life. And I know this too: the future will not depend upon the human mind; it belongs to the human heart.
WHY WILL THAT CONCEPT NOT LEAVE ME ALONE. GAD.
Cookies if you know what book I'm reading.
