Firedorn returns

[Vorad]

Dear readers, trolls, flamers, unprivileged, broken souls or just bored, be it European, Asian,  African or... Aliens it doesn't matter where you came from, what race you are, what football team you support, what you like to eat and so on and so forth. Bullying is bullying irregardless of who you are and what's your social status. A quick reference to the wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullying can give you a really short overview on the meaning of bullying. For a more in depth analysis I'm quite sure there are serious scientists who must have written some serious books about it. Therefore irregardless of what you might think the world owes you two things are certain, the universe is huge and doesn't evolve around you and secondly imposing your own whims on others is the real foundation of oppression.


Nazis, Bolsheviks, Jihadists, the good old Inquisition and their "neo-" versions of all colors and genders many things they have in common some of them are censorship and propaganda. Calling everyone who disagreed with them as degenerated, perverted and unnatural, censoring and burning artwork and... last but not least burning people literally alive just because they had a different view of the world they happen to live in. Nowadays that we have such a "wonderful" understanding of the historical rights and wrongs add in there the anonymity the internet provides and what you get is massive "movements" through the internet of these "gentle" souls flaming and cursing on everything and everyone that doesn't fit their cosmos-theory.


Some people suffer more some less that's how life is and it's unfair. There are people who eat five meals a day in order to go to the gym regularly while there are still people(kids) on this planet that die from famine even now that I am writing this. The question here is not who suffers or  suffered the most. It's not about who abused, enslaved, tortured, murdered whom etc(Historically speaking the Golden Horde of Genghis Khan has it's fare share to blame). The actual question is what does someone do with his life to begin with. Complaining constantly about what others have done to you and seeking direct or indirect ways for revenge(making halfwit "smart-ass" comments to begin with) so that you might feel better about yourself(through sarcastic, bitter, crap-talk etc.) will not solve your problems on the contrary it will fuel them even further.


Judging by many of the "witty" some might say "smart-ass" comments made so far, one could reach to a conclusion about certain individuals however that would be beyond the point of the main thread to begin with. If you have been mistreated or feel mistreated somehow don't blame it solely upon the others, there is no need to victimize yourself even further. Some people do practice that tactic in order to earn in a sick and disgusting way the sympathy of the public opinion(being the underdog sells). That tells much about who they truly are however and by all means do so if you so desire. There is this thing called personal character and individuality and it plays a very significant role both in game and in real life(shocking I know), on who is to blame on your misfortune apart from the assailant, the tyrant the bad guy. You'll be amazed how much better your life would feel if you actually do things to help yourself and others in a constructive way feeling better about who they truly are. And what's better help than studying and educating yourself. I mean proper study, from books written by acknowledged personalities who influenced human civilization positively through our history since the very first ancient philosophers to modern day thinkers. This I reckon would be much preferable to just complaining(bitching) about how much "retarded" the other guy who disagrees with your myopic point of view is.


I would like to quote two truly bright minds, who in their life time have had their own fare amount of deprived privileges(like many other bright people before them):
Friedrich Nietzsche - He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you.
Albert Einstein - Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe!

Poor Firedorn if only he knew what an inspiration his death would be to future generations. Truly  he has fallen a "Martyr" in the fight against oppression and tyranny.

PS: Dear Obsidian, the game and what you have done so far in order to breathe new life to an almost deceased genre is astonishing. You guys and girls(I hope) have accomplished much and the final product is a successful title worthy of it's predecessors Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale etc... Please if you truly however respect your backers, your fan-base but above all else yourselves... do not fall prey to the whims of anti-social, misanthropic, cyber-bullying groups be it Neo-Nazis, Religious Fundamentalists, Hypocritical Puritans, Spoiled and Privileged(these must be definitely white people), Simply Bored or even those really "cute" and "witty" Feminazis(Einstein would envy their IQ and Shakespeare would envy their vocabulary while Mother Teressa would most surely envy their humanitarian activities).

Looks like the subject of Firedorn still isn't interesting to keep a topic from derailing in less than 3 pages. For so many people saying they care, it seems most of them really care about something else. Closed for derailment. It was surprisingly more civil than last time, however, so props for that to everyone.
