What is strength to you, or what it is to be strong?

Alternatively, who is it that has right to rulership, or to command? Do you agree with the sentiment that those who are strong are superior and thus have greater rights than those who are weak?

And if that is the case: may the weak become strong?

It will end as it did before under the manner you describe.

...Perhaps it will and perhaps it will not. It depends upon the choices the people make and what they decide to do.

[Text]

[firstofthefallen]

And do you think they, as a group, will not choose what is most convenient over what is best?

[Text]

[lightofhumanity]

Even if it seems unlikely, I have to hope that they will. I still believe humanity will make the right choices.

[Text]

[firstofthefallen]

They're more then capable of it when left to themselves.

It's when they rely on the voices of others to guide them that they become fools.

[Text]

[lightofhumanity]

I do not think they become fools...but relying on just one voice to make all the decisions and throwing away free will is harmful.

[Text]

[firstofthefallen]

No. The one voice does not make a decision for all.

The one voice makes a decision for himself and himself alone. And another voice makes a decision for himself and himself alone. And another. And another.

While that would be a nice way to live, in my universe, things do not work that way. It would be nice if they did though.

It can be however.

I believe man is not such a different creature even when worlds divide him.

[Text]

[lightofhumanity]

It can be, and I hope it will be, but it make take a long time. However, hopefully it will be someday.

..Man is not. The forces surrounding him may be different, however.

[Text]

[firstofthefallen]

Not by much, from what I have seen of those who play in your world.

[Text]

[lightofhumanity]

You have not seen much then. However..despite Wilhelm, I am sure that the humanity in my universe will make the right choices.

[Text]

[firstofthefallen]

The man you call Wilhelm...I have met such a type before.

He lies dead now, at the hands of another and myself.

Mankind rose up to kill something like him in my world. Something I expect is even greater than he is.

I do not doubt such a possibility could happen in yours.

[Text]

[lightofhumanity]

..I do not think it is possible to truly kill Wilhelm..but hopefully humanity will be able to break out of his cycle eventually. I do not doubt it could happen either.

[That scenario just sounded too familiar. He has to ask.]

Are you and Aleph from the same universe?

[Text]

[firstofthefallen]

We are.

[Text]

[lightofhumanity]

I see..I am happy that you both managed to succeed in your universe then.

[firstofthefallen]

Yes. It was a great endeavor.

I am glad to have fought beside him.
