❤ 2nd Phase: Audio ❤

[Mia's been searching the city. First by foot, and then by network. Scrolling through post after post, ignoring most commentary unless it so amused her, until she finally comes to a realization.]

I left him behind, again. ...No. This time, I'm the one left behind.

[There's that terse silence.]

That was pointless to post. Instead, listen to these words:

"Evolution... does not always mean progress.
Evolution sometimes leads to an undesired vector.
It is arrogant for one to reject change because it is undesirable.
Rejection of change is the rejection of possibilities.
Allow diversity."

Tell me what something like this means to you. I think it's interesting, don't you?

[She could use a good distraction!]

That to change for the sake of change is better for the whole than to expect personal victory.

And in allowing for change, desired or not, you allow for victory you might have previously thought lost.

Victory... that's an interesting word. I don't hear that very often. What do you perceive as a victory?

[firstofthefallen]

To me, victory is many things.

To crush my enemy, foremost, is victory. By my own hands and the hands of my own preferably, though through a third party is also accessible. And all the things that come from the defeat of my enemy is victory. Freedom is victory. Coexistence is victory. Evolution is victory.

I think, perhaps, a more relevant question, however, would be what freedom is to you.

Doing as I like. I don't find much interesting in fighting so hard, however.

[firstofthefallen]

There are times in which fighting is unavoidable. Especially if one just wants to do what they like.

Granted, I find doing what one wants more admirable than doing what one is told.

I disagree, there is always an escape route.
