The communication screen goes completely black. Not a flicker, not even a shimmer of static is seen, but yet a whispering voice as if coming from a child is heard faintly.

"And so as all candles burn, so does this one that has been given the name of Ikarus...

A question must be asked, when does a candle burn out? When it runs out of oxygen? Yes, yet that is the answer for a simple mind, and it is the answer that I expect most if not all to answer with.

The true answer; Once the wick is no more.

For a candle without a wick is useless, meaningless, having no purpose.

I care not for the assumed length of the wick of this candle that has been given the name of Ikarus. I care not even for the candle itself. This candle that has been given the name of Ikarus, burns brightly, yet amusement begs me to query... Is this mass of nothing aware of where the wick is being trimmed?

The dark cold embrace of nothingness, how I cherish it so... Come to me, mass of nothing, join the nothingness from which I am."

Sadly much evil is brought into the world by people who think they are doing good.

How about if everybody decided to be left alone and leave everybody else alone, and put a bullet in the head of anyone who breaks that rule?

Simple. I love simplicity.

I prefer that one, too. Though I think the quote Mr. thagriin was using is usually read with the implication that one side of the injustice actually asked for help.

The original argument this referred to here was about Lyn Farel being a member of a very prominent Amarr Militia corporation which has been actively fighting in the Republic to reclaim my people, and at the same time claiming that she herself is opposed to the war of conquest against the Republic. I told her that that is difficult believe, considering her employer at that time. This has changed, so her position is much more believable now. (She is still quite upset with me, though.)

Also, not quite on-topic in this thread.
