He is willing to try over and over again, even though he fails repeatedly. The inspired noble seeks wisdom in all available corners. He looks in the library for insights of past philosophers. He listens to those who have lived half a generation before him, to see what they have learned. He asks his priest the tough questions, and challenges the answers until they make sense. ..the inspired noble finds more pleasure in kindness than in conquest through annihilation. And when this becomes boring he seeks new ways to be kind without imposing. The inspired noble does not seek to be serving in the way others think he should, but seeks to serve others using a means he can sustain. To seek pleasure in kindness, means to find a form of kindness you can enjoy. To stomp on the weak makes one stronger, but it is not near as fun as making friends through kindness. Unlike the downcast noble who conquers the world ahead in order to forget the world he leaves behind, the inspired noble seeks to explore in adventure in order to inprove the world he brings with him. Let us make Olympia2 a time for kindness and prosperity, and let us see how quickly we can jointly develop the whole globe, rather than just fight over one corner.

He laid a nasty trap for his friends oh so dear, He waited for their demise while drinking his non-alcoholic beer. Knowledge of this trap was his and his alone, He dreamed of his power while sitting on his imaginary throne. But the trap was foiled by one brave of heart, his dreams how they vanished and fell all apart.(so sad) Then the traitor was hunted and tracked liked a beast, He ran for his life north, south and finally east. On an island far away his safety he did find, but still felt pain and sorrow for his deeds weighed on his mind. Withered an old he died all alone, no honor, no power no imaginary throne! What was this man called? now your curiosity I see, Why it was Benedict Arnold who else would it be? 'Tale of the Traitor' as sung by an the old bard in the Inn of the Last Home near Imperial City. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Up
