Vacillating No More… Or Will I?
Dear Brain (or whatever may be in my head), We both know what this is about. Ever since I was an ugly little thing which passed off as a human child or possibly Cthulhu’s long-lost cousin, I've always had difficulty in making choices. I can't make the quick decisions like everyone else; you know, like normal people can. It’s a battle to decide on one thing or the other, be it something inconsequential or something serious with disastrous outcomes.

Submitted, Objectively
To those who’ve known and never heard of such ideas, “It’s a cult,” they yammer. Like blood spilling from their frothy lips, they speak of sacrifice and dying and suffering. They, however, never speak of joy, life, and excellence to be found on this Earth. They, still, call it a cult. The irony is overwhelming, their system of fate relates to tribalistic leanings and following mystical patterns that would herd all heads under a single yoke. After, they would be plucked one by one with the simplest assertion that their faith cannot be tested. One thing is to believe in something. Another is to say it’s real. If you believe in something, you don’t have to say it's real because it already exists.
