I hope you have been well, it looks like you have been.

I have been doing a lot of thinking, regarding your harsh words, and you're right, however I have come to my own conclusion, as I've been keeping tabs on recent events on the side.

You criticize me for being weak, however you are not as strong as you say you are. You might have me bested physically, but we both know physical strength only gets you so far. Mental strength is of utmost importance, and part of that is living by a code, or a set of rules, and if you wish to teach others that code, you yourself must LIVE by it for it to hold any value.

"Where are you going with this," you may ask.

You do not live by your own code. You claim your people hold honor and respect above all else, and that those who you deem worthy of respect will be by your side at all times, yet the person who did nothing but care and concern for you was set aside because of some "spur of the moment feelings." You are so quick to judge those around you, yet you do not sit and judge yourself for who you REALLY ARE, brother. You only see what benefits you, and I fear that you will only see that way until it is all taken back from you. Now that you have it all, you have forgotten the people that supported you in the early days of your upbringing, the people who STILL care about you, and you don't even sit back to think if it was even WORTH it.

You are feeding into a beast for the sole purpose of greed, brother. You are honestly lucky very few of the thousands upon thousands of people see that, but I do. I see how you really are, and who you choose to be, which brings me to my previous "conclusion" mentioned earlier:

You do not DESERVE my friendship.
You do not DESERVE my respect.
You do not DESERVE my empathy.

So with that, brother, I will end with this:

You do not live up to the expectations you preach to everyone else. You are no better than a false prophet, and I truly feel sorry for you. I can only hope you open your eyes and see what I see, but I fear that day will never come.

However, if there's a chance, even if it is smaller than an atom, I will await you with open arms.

I forgive you for your words, however I am not doing it for you, brother. It is because I struggle finding my center, and forgiveness is a critical step in obtaining peace within one self.



And for those who do not understand who this applies to, listen carefully:

You are my brother. Though we have not met physically, I know you, and you know me. You have taught me many things, and I have shown my appreciation. You have taught me to keep pushing forward in the face of adversity, and I will continue to do so because you have opened my eyes.

I looked up to you brother, but now, I only pity you. Farewell.
