>>38664605I didn't mean to imply that my voice itself was venomous, anon. Merely that the words that are spat by the snake's flickering tongue are; you would expect a divine serpent to bring hope and joy, but yet my gaze is unflinching as I speak dour words of warning and forecaution.You're welcome to imagine my tone to be as serene or as grating as you want, though
at least as long as you assume it's appropriately haughty.
>>38664608I don't dislike poetry but I wouldn't call it an explicit interest. Philosophy (and religion to a smaller degree) is interesting to me largely because it's one of the few instances where humans attempt to be more than angry, violent animals. They will fight, kill and *die* over differences in mere -concept-, in something that is nothing at all! One who believes that the weak should be ruled for their own good and lead through a path that benefits them because left to their own devices they will wallow in their own filth forever will clash so fiercely with another who believes in some inherent goodness and intellect present in all human beings and that they should simply be educated to the point where they can make their own decisions instead of being lead by those who believe they were cut from a finer cloth. You will never see prey arguing with predators about whether prey should be given the right to vote on what every animal has for dinner, and yet humans will drive themselves into great and terrible war over how the weaker should be treated by the stronger.
In truth, it means I know everyone's crazy. It's part of why I wish to avoid others as much as I can manage to and why I wish for the privilege to live a solitary life within a well-hidden lake. Even this thread exists to fuel my lonely fantasies; after I cease posting soon, I'll merely resort to comfortably imagining what could be posted between us. I enjoy reality being nothing more than something to make my fantasies more real.
