For your consideration - a little human interest story teased from between the folds of some giant stories set in my DnD world, with clues to how it is woven into that tapestry. I don't know if I'll expand it much more than this, but I really had fun writing this today and felt like sharing. π

Dualities inherently arenβt quite primary tho, however tempting the flatness of maps is for charting courses.
I donβt know how to defend against purposeful hate any more than a leaf does the sun. I know how and when to open and breathe, and if it kills me then Iβll die.
I love because I can do anything within me, and loving is my favorite. Grief is a fair price for that desireβs maintenance, so I give it.
It isnβt reasonable, that lift, to ask or expect. Nevertheless children are born in & out of us with each new moment that beg our better parents of community.
Strength, grace and discretion are truer than others in me for aunties, shepherds, but I donβt look to make enemies of human constituency.
I so often find myself at a loss how to express and not impress the agony of my community - share in its pain but uplift it in process.
Yesterday three boys jeered something rude in Hindi at me. I smiled and waved at them. They smiled shyly and waved back. We broke the spell of Other like a twig.
Upon closer inspection I am *shocked* and dismayed to report that unfortunately the power had to come from inside me all along.

28.01.2025 21:52 β π 1 π 1 π¬ 1 π 0ynicism is first of all a style of presenting oneself, and it takes pride more than anything in not being fooled and not being foolish. But in the forms in which I encounter it, cynicism is frequently both these things. That the attitude that prides itself on world-weary experience is often so naΓ―ve says much about the triumph of style over substance, attitude over analysis. Maybe it also says something about the tendency to oversimplify. If simplification means reducing things to their essentials, oversimplification tosses aside the essential as well. It is a relentless pursuit of certainty and clarity in a world that generally offers neither, a desire to shove nuances and complexities into clear-cut binaries. NaΓ―ve cynicism concerns me because it flattens out the past and the future, and because it reduces the motivation to participate in public life, public discourse, and even intelligent conversation that distinguishes shades of gray, ambiguities and ambivalences, uncertainties, unknowns, and opportunities. Instead, we conduct our conversations like wars, and the heavy artillery of grim confidence is the weapon many reach for.
I'm exhausted by all the people out there who are trying to prove they're each the most cynical world-weary disillusioned person who's not gonna ever do a fucking thing ever except dump on everything and expect to be admired for that. Wrote about that in 2016:
