Letter 3

𒅆𒊒𒍪𒅆,

The antithesis of order is not disorder. Rather, it is indecision.

Indecision allows abuse to fester and despotism to boil. A kingdom of hesitation is no kingdom at all. When it finally collapses, its denizens will wonder how it survived for so long.

Some understand this and some do not. Those that do can bring the world to its knees. Those that don't are satisfied to watch it happen. I have taken it upon myself to learn to decide. Someone has to.

𒁾,

𒍪𒅆
