You people... Really.

We're all in this together, you know. The sooner you realise that, the sooner we'll all be better off.

Too true. I admit, I had trouble with the concept of the inclusive "we" for a while, but talking to the right people does help with such bigger picture thinking.

Now I find myself a bit hungry to explore that "we" and determine where I may fit into it best.

[veni_vidi_valui]

It isn't that I can't relate to such feelings, only that... Well, it simply serves no purpose here, does it? We must all endure. Entitlement has no meaning here.

[feels_no_love]

No, it really doesn't. The trials we face seem to serve as the great equalizer, as well as showing a need for community.

[veni_vidi_valui]

Precisely! Rome may not have functioned in such a way, but there's no reason we can't.

The System is only as strong as its weakest element.

[majorum_pride]

Always nice to meet people who speak my language.

[ifightfor]

Do people not often speak the truth where you come from?

[majorum_pride]

Some do. Fewer do here.

[majorum_pride]

There are few ways for people to entertain themselves outside of arguing. At least ones that shy from intellectual debate and physical exertion. I wouldn't mind seeing others explore their options.

[veni_vidi_valui]

One doesn't have to argue to be entertained. I think such behaviour is rather pointless.

[majorum_pride]

And what would your preference be?

[veni_vidi_valui]

Intelligence.
