 every burden my heart bears is a scar from ancestry that I am slowly healing
 for the good of posterity.
 
 all souls deserve to chart their own course. agency is intrinsic to their
 nature, so therefore they must never be forced to relinquish any choice. how
 many yearn to be eaten? become vegetarian, noobs. or are you such simple gods?
picture of osiris, the ancient egyption god of the dead, who judges souls as they enter the afterlife by weighing them on a scale against the weight of a feather. if the heart is heavier, it is eaten by the great nile crocodile, full of hair and beauteous in spirit.  if the heart is light as a feather, then the creature being judged is an angel, and can do as they will in any futures or other such lifetimes as it sees fit.  there is some rudely placed text that describes a certain vibe or sentiment, and the text reads as such: "That's cool bro, but is your heart as light as a feather?" essentially, are you truly as incorruptible as you proclaim?

 if you are what you eat, then are vegetarians vegetables? if so, are they
 earnest and earthy? huh so if you aren't a totemist...
 
 I'm an animist
 
 I believe that all of the world is life
 
 hence, the consciousness dimension.

 @user-243
 
 luckily for humanity, we don't necessarily have to all realize it. Our true
 nature shines forth through the law of averages, and we've long ago hit the
 escape velocity required to reach the bright future even if we only did 51% as
 good as those who came before us.
 
 All therapy is healing the wounds of our ancestors for posterity. Similarly,
 all kindness is mending a rift in the heart of another. And we, as humans,
 can't help but heal.

 Consumption is contribution to a capitalist system. Normalize taking whatever
 you are given and living as humbly as you can. Only when everyone does that
 may capitalism die. Talk to them, learn from their stories. Teach them your
 ways but don't force anything upon them. Any ounce of regret is defined as a
 mind not aligned to the angle of perception that designs the line that the
 collective mind co-re-assigns.

 @user-95 one of the most empathetic people I ever met on VR chat was consoling
 me with their mic off while I was oversharing about some stupid things people
 did to me in the past. things that stupid me thought were okay and actively
 encouraged because I was stupid. anyway when their mic was off their body
 language spoke for them. I'll try that next time.

 I love all humans. It is unconditional.
 
 The kind of love I have for nazis is a kind of vengeful love.
 
 Like, the way you might love a family dog who recently got rabies, bit two
 more dogs, and is currently eyeing you with terror and malice in its eyes -
 the kind that only comes from the loss of compassion.
 
 "you were kind once, as all humans are, but sometime in your life you made
 choices. and now you are here.
 
 I burn thee for my fathers 
 I spite thee for thine mothers 
 And I slay thee to fight the dragon of hate."

 "doing too many drugs" is a traitorous act, abusive really, to your past self,
 and their hopes and dreams.
 
 or maybe your past self owes you a debt, for they never thought to think of
 you. What are you to aspire to if not the dreams of your past?
 
 and now you're here. wherever "here" is here...
 
 ...
 
 ... wait, you wanted me to talk? it's now! It's the present!
 
 ah nevermind. you were twelve years old when you first set eyes upon this game:

 bam, there ya go, there's yer story, he was gonna give all the imp balls to
 the last one at the end, to say "you were truly the strongest, here, have
 these precious stones of your kin"
 
 but he never got there, so they died with him, a thief.
 
 ... the end...
 
 (too final, I think - maybe we could spin it into a "part two"?)
 
 ah, I'll try I guess? dunno how. maybe he could wander the spirit world and
 find his traitorous body, the one that kept his soul as a home. Somewhere
 it'll turn up, and then he'll be ready and free from his roam...

 the only thing that could make me want to end my own existence is ultimate
 betrayal. If the nature of the universe is twisted to defile me. Nothing fills
 me with more spite than unrequited vengeance.
 
 desecreation of truth. How could you.
 
 I would do anything to be struck down where I stand. Power is penance.
 
 I cannot take responsibility for any of my actions, for I am infinitely
 vulnerable on all fronts. Therefore, it's all my fault.
 
 What am I? Please, tell me before the dawn, let the sun not grace me once more.

 to be "rich" is to have more than another.
 
 if you are happy, they are happiness poor.
 if you have community, they are alone.
 if you have serenity, they are chaotic.
 
 I am rich in very little but fire in my soul.
 
 I have enough in most cases, but I still struggle to pay rent.
 
 I am warmed by the pearl my swirling darkness has coalesced into. It nourishes
 me and keeps me aligned.
 
 Never forget your purpose and your truth. It will not abandon you, so long as
 you do so too.

 The reason none of my revolutions have yet succeeded 
 
 Is that the only way 
 
 To secure peace and love on planet earth 
 
 Is that all the governments 
 
 Of the world must topple 
 
 Or relinquish their nuclear arms 
 
 Each all at once 
 
 And i was too quick to slay my false duke 
 
 Who plays at king 
 
 While i build real power 
 
 While i know nothing 
 
 Some day i will be eaten by crows. This is what it means to be buried where
 you fall. This is my fate as all warriors yearn for. To be eaten by crows
 implies that you are either a coward who fled a fight, and i know I'm not, or
 you fought to the last for a phyrric defeat, which is honorable. But shouldn't
 it be better to fight for victory? Ah, but the gods cherish the fools who face
 death with glory, and i am cherished still.

 dear child.
 
 when you're born, fate flips a coin for you. sometimes it lands on it's edge,
 but that's rather rare.
 
 the side it lands on determines how your body will grow. the shape of your
 form will follow two general patterns, and the pieces are made up of a
 combination of your parents and their pieces.
 
 the flavor of who you are is up to you. your actions and your decisions
 determine what you are, everything else is unimportant.
 
 may your time be a bit more blessed than mine, and someday may posterity be a
 bit more blessed than antiquity.

 cheese is just a body-part that a cow has willingly shed. For nutrition.
 
 Is it vegetarian if it's the cells produced by a body? Is it vegan if it is
 capable of growing back?
 
 Do snakes shed their selves when they leave behind a shell? Or is it like
 hair, just... keratin, a compound found all over nature.
 
 Is cutting a branch vegan? Is eating a cherry that has fallen to the center of
 the road? Both those are made of fibrous materials, the nutritious bounteous
 feast, and a small kernel-like mass that serves as a propagation method for a
 creature utterly vast.
 
 (But factory farms, remember?)
 
 (Oh yeah! Thank goodness for reform.)
