I would like to make something abundantly clear here.

There are those of you volunteering for this task. To give yourselves to Death. And I have noted two distinct types. Those that seem to understand what is being asked and offer in spite of the pain it will inevitibly bring them. And those who believe it will be easy and offer themselves out of a belief that they can do it and be fine.

Now as I've said. I could do it. I would have no qualms about what he would ask of me because what he does, what he seems to have always done, is garden. Pluck the weeds, the dead, so that life may flourish. He understands when and why. Cause and Effect. Someone young, innocent, may die but in that, in not saving them springs a new host of possibilities for others that would not have been possible had he saved a life. I believe this planet equates it to stepping on a butterfly.

To make this choice I believe it needs to be hard. I believe it needs to be someone who has not killed so easily as I and others have. Pure in deed, he said. I do not believe that means purity or innocence in the conventional sense but rather understanding the gravity of what he asks you and not finding it easy.

Many of us do and I urge those people to step back from this as I have. There is too much at stake.

	I didn't make the offer because it was easy. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I didn't mean you. You seem to understand the gravity of it (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. A lot of people volunteering should not be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jeditraitor 2013-09-10 06:00 am UTC (link)
	No they should not. I hope that they'll see that, or that Death will (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sure death will. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I am willing to pay the price. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I find it proves my point that the first two to comment are some of those with whom I have no concerns in terms of the morality of the thing. Though, given your heritage. Is it wise? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofthursdays 2013-09-10 05:42 am UTC (link)
	My heritage is lost to me. Still I think it would be more difficult for one without that experience. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jeditraitor 2013-09-10 05:57 am UTC (link)
	That's my point though. I suspect he wants it to be. If Snow White is correct and he wants understanding (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofthursdays 2013-09-10 06:02 am UTC (link)
	I can only offer what he asks for. It isn't going to be easy for anyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jeditraitor 2013-09-10 11:39 am UTC (link)
	But then while you are physically human, your experiance shapes you. Is it not possible all you've seen means you won't see it the way the rest of them will. Mine certainly does (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ofthursdays 2013-09-11 03:22 am UTC (link)
	Everyone's experience shapes them. I have made my offer. He knows I am serious in my desire. He knows, or will know, why I offer. It is better if I take that place. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	hrosha_gul 2013-09-10 05:59 am UTC (link)
	Exactly why I did not volunteer. You taught me, after all. I'd find it too easy to garden like that. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	jeditraitor 2013-09-10 06:00 am UTC (link)
	Yes you would. You understand the need for him. In the world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hrosha_gul 2013-09-10 06:02 am UTC (link)
	I do. Death is natural, it needs to happen and as noble as the idea of saving everyone might be, it would actually cause more damage in the long run. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jeditraitor 2013-09-10 06:15 am UTC (link)
	Indeed. It's nessecary. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	thatlanewit 2013-09-10 08:39 am UTC (link)
	I doubt it matters in the end. He'll be picking who he deems worthy of the sacrifice and all of those who are jumping at the offer, who think it will be easy or like anything they've ever dealt with in their lives won't be seen as worthy. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	jeditraitor 2013-09-10 11:38 am UTC (link)
	That's the hope. But then things don't always pan out that way, do they? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thatlanewit 2013-09-10 12:36 pm UTC (link)
	Not always, but I think Death wants this to have lasting consequences. Why would he pick someone unworthy? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	nomanswoman 2013-09-10 10:38 am UTC (link)
	Yes, you're very right. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	jeditraitor 2013-09-10 11:38 am UTC (link)
	I am. I just want others to see it in that vein (Reply to this) (Parent)

	blackedoutstar 2013-09-10 11:50 am UTC (link)
	I do not claim to know the intents of others, I simply know my own and never once was it seen as something that would be easy and leave no lasting mark. (Reply to this)

	bornofevilsfire 2013-09-10 11:51 am UTC (link)
	It's not supposed to be easy and anyone who thinks they can handle it with no effect on them is a fool. (Reply to this)

	itchtokill 2013-09-10 12:41 pm UTC (link)
	Well said. It's a tricky thing, that balance. I wonder if it's actually possible. (Reply to this)
