Evil

Written by: Ranger Fwiffo, Soldier of Deucalion
Date: Monday, October 18th, 1999
Addressed to: Strife


I think you're stretching this a bit, friend...I do have respect for
you, but your Evil Utopia is highly unrealistic.
1. There is a distinct difference between strong and evil. All that are
evil are not strong, and strength is not always evil. A person whom is
good and strong would not be 'weeded out with the weak'. If they
were shrewd enough, they could conceal their motives to combat
evil and plant the seeds for downwall in the Evil Utopia(provided
of course they were in a position of influence, which wouldn't be
a problem if the strongest ruled in the said society).
2. Among the TRULY wicked, the only thing that drives them is their
own self-gain. How do you picture a harmonious society of achievement if
everyone is not cooperating, and is merely looking out for their own interests?
Political stability would also be impossible, because of continuous power
struggles between those who believe they are the most powerful. At the sign
of weakness(be it faulty battle tactics or simply their emotions becoming
unsuppressed
the latter being what I think the 'emotionless' are doing)
the leader would be replaced and/or killed. And do to Evil's striving for
more and more power and thus perfection, no leader would be satisfactory.
The result would be a long string of despots replacing one another
in rapid succession, with little achievement on any of their behalfs.
How can you look forward when you have to keep glancing over your shoulder
in fear?

These are merely my opinion, and I wish them not to offend Sartan. Strife just
exaggerated quite a bit and I felt I should shed another light on his comments.

Knowledge, Compassion, Wits, and Devotion are more powerful than any physical
weapon you may have.

Penned by my hand on the 5th of Lupar, in the year 231 AF.
