Lonely thoughts in Eorzea

Of character and conviction

What I believe

Justice matters, but justice without compassion can become cruelty. Freedom matters, but freedom without responsibility is merely indulgence.

I would rather question my own convictions than follow them blindly.

What I struggle with

I sometimes mistake certainty for wisdom.

I am learning that a person can do their best and still make mistakes.

On the road to understanding

I do not believe that conviction should make us blind. If anything, the things we don't understand deserve the closest examination.

I am wandering Eorzea in pursuit of knowledge, companionship, and perhaps a little understanding of the world we inhabit.

I have never been particularly good at leaving a difficult question unanswered. Perhaps that is why the road continues to call.
