Nothing Except Uncertainty
It should be obvious: You have nothing of value that I desire. More importantly, I certainly do not have any ill will toward you. I have found peace, meaning, and live on the principal idea of Wu Wie. I prescribe to the notion of inaction, non-action, and/or effortless action motivated by a lack of desire to participate in human affairs. Nevertheless, I am convinced that you have discovered deep inside of you is that hate is what led you here and you must accept the results. Your choices could have come from a place of kindness, love and goodwill. Instead, you went against this natural order in pursuit of vengeance, hate and bad faith. The pity I felt for you continues to fade away as I have been through my journey of learning and understanding to become incredibly grateful for the many uncertainties that began with you.

Your religion gave you written rules, in addition to moral guidelines to live by and you swore that they were your values and beliefs. Yet, your lack of decency and quickness to anger suggested otherwise. You lie, you cheat, you steal. The falsehood that is your life will keep unraveling. You only understand things once you have experienced it and by now you know well the fear and concerns that were presented to you in the past were real. In your own words, you had the chance “to try, listen, question, and seek to understand.”
The years feel like mere seconds. During the darkest period of my journey, I discovered that only my ambition could elevate me to new heights and depths, removing me far away from destruction. However, for you, the day you realize that death is not the worst thing that can happen to a person is the day you lose all hope and gain all that feeling of helplessness. Your sorrow will grow, and loneliness will consume you. The people you tried so hard to please will only add to your suffering. You will witness your fate unfolding and realize that the system of power you have believed in your whole life up to now is not founded on truth but on people’s willingness to act as if it were true. When darkness finds you, you will face it alone, and your call for help will go unanswered.
