The Path Ahead

Why do we choose? Do we choose because we are helpless? Because we need someone else to decide for us? No. We choose because we believe. Those who can choose, do it because they believe. All of them. All of us. For one reason or the other, we all believe in a plan. The plan.

Even if its impossible for everyone to See eye to eye with each other, we all believe that a certain plan will lead us to prosperity.

And it is common for ideas to often be lived not individually, but uniquely, to think that the plan we believe in, is, as I said, /the/ plan, the only one possible, the only one that is worthy of being followed.

But we must not be foolish. We all know what is happening in the city, we all know what is happening in the island. Ive heard you, you who complain about the devices the Chancellor has recently installed in the city, and I understand. Seeing is not for all, and all are not meant to See, or even be Seen, but now is the time, Cordor.

Now is the time to put uniqueness aside, to understand that our plans are not the only ones and that there is a path ahead, a path that we can all See, and that we can all follow.

And I am not asking you to be mindless! No! I am asking for Clarity. I am asking for reason. Put your plans aside when they are not meant to be executed, but not to simply accept somebody elses, to understand it.

Take your time, See how their logic works, understand how their schemes are to happen. Dont simply tremble in anger and burst out the first time you cant see to accomplishing your objectives.

Wait. Listen. Think. Plan, again and again. Never give up on planning, but understand that you are not the only one who does it, and that there is no need to push your intentions on to everyone. There is a time for all of us. All we need is to be able to determine when. Be clever. See how your Plan fits in theirs. Understand the city as what it is, understand life as what it is: a complex puzzle that we all put together, collectively.

And in that process, adapt. Dont be ill intentioned. Dont look to just benefit from someone elses plan and then impose yours when they fail. No!

Be clever. Realize that all our plans are meant to coexist, just as we coexist too. But, once more, dont be foolish. Understand my words as a call for unity, but not for deviation. I am speaking to a city of good, to a city of prosperity, to a city of lights. Dont twist my words and put them to foul uses, for I will not allow it.

Do not compete for what is not worth it. Lend your aid to those who you think have a righteous heart, to those who you trust in, but specially, to those who, even if you may disagree with, will show the city a path to success. Let us be unique not in our plans, but in our intent.

And now, Cordor, say yes! To respect, to understanding, to Clarity, to Seeing! Eyes open, Cordor! Now! Now more than ever.
