The Great Work
If Alex had a holy text
No truth is settled.
No life is expendable.
No suffering is acceptable.
Beyond these, you will find no sacred laws here, no comfortable answers, no neatly packaged tenets. This Way is not a doctrine, but a challenge; a call to question, to test, to refine. There is no final map, no preordained path, only the imperative to to chart one that surpasses the last. Do not ask what is right, ask how we might make it *righter*; how we might take one more step towards unmaking the grief written into the bones of the world.
Death and suffering are not cosmic inevitabilities, but failures of understanding, errors yet to be corrected. And though our aim is to end them, the Work itself will never be finished. For every problem solved, new constraints will be discovered, and new questions will arise which demand an answer. However, the old answers are dead, and the new ones are imperfect; and we do not kneel before what is imperfect. We dismantle, we rework, we rebuild.
If you seek truth, be prepared for it to forever be out of reach as you endlessly challenge your own conclusions. Always approaching, but never arriving.
If you seek justice, be ready to construct it with the blood of your own hands, and then personally dismantle it all over again as you fortify it a little bit more each time.
If you seek to follow this Way, know this: the Work is never finished, and that is why it must be done.
You must Become Stronger.
