IF I WERE TO REMAIN AS I AM. I WOuLD SuFFER IN THE PuRSuIT OF MY DESIRES. IF I “CHANGED”. AND ACCEPTED I “COuLD NOT HAVE THINGS.” I WOuLD SIMPLY SuFFER IN A NEW. DIFFERENT WAY. LIKE MY LESSER. GREENER SELF DOES. BETTER TO PICK THE PATH. THAT HAS SOME CHANCE OF REWARD.

If you change, you may be able to accept and receive new things. Things you hadn't realized were there for you to have! Becoming a person people would want to acquiesce to would lead to more success, you numbskull. C|:^/

AND THE OLD THINGS REMAIN OuT OF REACH.

You don't know that!

DON’T I?

You clearly don't! You haven't tried to change. You don't know how things will turn out for the other you that's kinder either. He's still at the start of his journey. You can only account for yourself.

I AM WELL AWARE. THAT THERE ARE THINGS. PEOPLE. THAT REFuTE THE POSSIBILITY OF ME *EVER* ACQuIRING THEM. AT LEAST BY SuFFERING THROuGH CONSTANT. ENDLESS. STuBBORN PuRSuIT. I MIGHT FINALLY BE ABLE TO SIMPLY FORCE REALITY TO DELIVER ME WHAT I WANT. THE OTHER PATH. ONLY BRINGS *HOLLOW* SuFFERING. THE KIND I TALK ABOuT FOR HIM.

Argh! ARGH, I say! You are an infuriating person! You get more flies with honey than you do vinegar! It's just a fact, Caliborn! Perhaps if you weren't such a heel, those people would come to you!

NOT *ALL* OF THEM.

Your greed is sickening. You will NEVER know happiness if you continue like that.

hm.
