Nothing can last forever.
When the sun has shone brightly, it returns to the Ocean.
The moon wanes, though just now she was full.
The fierceness of love often becomes a gentle breeze.

“At some stage, the Human Species will divide. Whilst most will continue to evolve, a minority of those lacking the intellectual capacity of thought, will develop as a sub-species. Being easily lead, form into Packs attempting to control the majority. They will deny biology, attempt to undo the centuries of human development by re-writing history, and gradually revert to their Primate Origins. They will expect all to conform to their point of view without question.”

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within.For the traitor appears not a traitor — He speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.He rots the soul of a nation--he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city--he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared."

“Any wisdom on trying to do that?”
“Live with yourself?”
“Yeah.”
“It’s easy. Keep yourself busy with something you enjoy doing, learn to feed yourself what you like to eat, pick up after yourself, do your own cleaning if you can’t afford a butler or maid droid, cleaner bots, or a registered cleaning company, and don’t take life too seriously. Socialize when you can, but never stay to the end, because that’s where the lonely people are, desperately waiting to hook up with someone to avoid being lonely, because they never learnt how live alone.”
Timothy Ellis, from Easter Mage
