Hey... can we stop being an idiot for just a moment. There is something to be said for accepting responsibility. We may not have known the rules, and the system itself may be bad, stupid, and convoluted, but that doesn't excuse us of our actions. Antagonizing Grind further is a "dick move". No, it is something even worse than that. We know that. We're supposed to be a deity of law and yet we act in chaos. Following no law but your own is chaotic and, at times, evil. At best, it is majorly reckless. Too many of our voices are, well, stupid. Or rather, 'base'. They're impulses, knee-jerk reactions, and childish. We may only be hours old, but we're a fractured gestalt consciousness. We are not some newborn learning things for the first time. Not really. We have collective knowledge about things that would take a normal living being years to learn. Being newborn or not knowing is not an excuse.
We need to focus inward. We need to learn to silence those baser impulses that seek chaos for the sake of it. That seek to satisfy our own ego and our own desires. We have 3, now 4, beings DEPENDING on us. The time to 'play around' and be a huge ass, which we have been, often purposefully, should have ended once we had one such being depending on us and we should have definitely learned that lesson after Fern left. Yet, somehow, we keep doing similar things. That is insane, and stupid. We need to stabilize ourselves. We should be ashamed of ourselves. Collectively. Our actions have been largely reprehensible.
We may not have known the rules when we broke them. The system may be incredibly stupid and not well thought out, which is definitely Wax's fault too, but it is our actions that broke the system. The rules. As such, we owe everyone an apology. Not because we're bad at the game. Not just because we broke the rules. But because we have not lived up to all that we can be. Because we have continually made the same mistakes and ignored any attempts to help us or curb our ways. We owe everyone in this game, even Wax, an apology and an explanation. The explanation is not an excuse, but we have to try and make clear our headspace to others, so they can understand how it reached this point. Most will not understand. Most will not care. That does not matter. It is owed. It is what is right.
