Not Your Fault

     Life's a bitch.

     Lydecker's an ass.

     Stuff's going to happen...to me, to the others...to all of us.

     You can't save all of us all the time.

     You're human.

     You're not God, not the Blue Lady.

     You are human.  A mortal human being.  One that can die just as easily as anyone else in the world can.

     You can't be the altruistic hero that sacrifices himself time after time, 24/7.

     You can't protect us from everything...even if you want to.

     Stuff's going to happen.

     You can't stop that.

     I know you feel it's your responsibility, your duty, to protect us...to save us...but you can't.  Not always.  There's only so much you can do...and you you've done that and more for us.  You've done more for us then we can ever repay you for.

     You've done everything you can...everything in your power to save us, protect us.

     We owe you our lives...at the very least.

     Any one of us would take a bullet for you...give our life for you.  No questions asked...that's a given.

     We owe you that, if nothing else.

     You can't blame yourself for things that are beyond your control.

     You can't blame yourself for things you can't possibly predict...I mean, you're not clairvoyant for Gods sake!

     Everything that goes wrong...everything that happens to us, isn't always your fault.  You need to know that...you need to understand that.

     Do you?  'Cause I don't think you do.

     The world's not going to end just because one of us didn't make it out completely unscarred.  That would be next to impossible.

     The world will keep on turning...the sun will keep on rising, no matter what happens to us...for better or for worse.

     It won't stop spinning.

     We'll live, we'll survive...like we always have.

     It's not your fault.

     Everything happens for a reason.

     We may not like the reason or even agree with it...and hell, we may never even know or understand the reason, but that doesn't change the fact that things still do happen for a reason.

     So whatever happens, know that if one of us comes out bruised or scarred, or maybe not at all...it happened for a reason...a reason beyond your control, and it's not your fault.
