Introduction: Know this: Those who claim absolute purity are liars, and those branded as wicked are never as vile as their accusers. Neither perfect darkness nor pure light has ever existed鈥攏or shall they. For judgment and distinction define existence itself, and without them, humanity would cease to be.  We are human. Our shared curse is the pursuit of perfection: eternal life, boundless power, absolute dominion, infinite wealth... Are we too selfish? No鈥攏ot always. For there are still those who would sacrifice themselves to save others.  Let them forget I ever existed.  Let their past sufferings fade.  Let them find peace at last.  Today, I stand at a threshold where I could judge all creation... yet I remain alone.  And loneliness belongs only to god....
