Life is pain. War is change. The raw materials of life hammered and shaped into something with a purpose.

What has happened is what has happened. The past is gone. I was not the same person then. I was much weaker. I lived and breathed and hid in fear. That time is gone. I fear nothing. I have faced my fears and learned from them. The gods gave me that.

Wisdom often comes from those with the least to lose.
