Abner Doon.

"Jason thinks–he knows–that what Abner Doon did resurrected life,
resurrected humanity’s soul.

Yes, it caused pain.

Yes, it caused discomfort.

Yes, it caused upset and confusion and turmoil.

But it was in humanity’s best interest.

Or so we’re told.

...I think people–collectively and individually–like comfort, like complacency,
like knowing what’s going on, like feeling safe.

But it is in times where you don’t know, times of uncertainty,
times where you’re challenged, where you struggle that you learn,
that you grow, that you become.

Pain and suffering and endurance are often the catalyst for people becoming better,
stronger, smarter, more capable.

Some people fear change.

Some people accept it and adapt.

Some always look back to what they had before,
they glamorize what once was–or what might have been.

Others live in the moment.

Still others live and dream about the future.

I don’t know that there is a “right” way to live
…but I feel certain that living too much in the past, present, or future
could be a bad thing.

“After the worlds were slain by Abner Doon,
ten thousand years of darkness passed
before the fires again burned their threads between the stars.” (16)

“The Unmaker of the Universe?

The Breaker of Man?

The Waker from the Sleep of Life?” (17)
