      What, that unavoidable thing that takes from us the one thing most of us cherish dearly? Yeah, real strange we fixate on that.

      People have forgotten humor, poetry and romance. I love a good sword fight as much as the next man, but there’s more to life.

      It’s my desire to enter the Bards College. My parents are hesitant, but I pray they let me attend.

      The owner class has made life a meaningless farce of exploitation for most. No time or resources to indulge reasonable hobbies, maintain our bodies, even to have a family, though we are encouraged to have them without the resources to so we may create a new generation of desperate, hopeless capital batteries for the owner class to consume.

      A meaningless farce that death is the only escape from, as their prescription of relinquishing your entire identity in service to their further enrichment, ie embracing “that grind culture, bruh” is a fate so dark and perverse that it makes death look like a mercy.

      Their grind culture zombies are the most pathetic individuals I have ever interacted with. Dead eyes with a stepford smile. Profit husks.
