Where Is The Love?

[Gnomistry 1115]

   High Prophet Beros Oathcast walks out of a meeting with Prophet Hogarth Irongut, he feels the power of love wash over him so he continues what he preached to Hogarth on paper. He then duplicates the paper and hangs it around the lands of Urguan, Krug, Malin, and Horen.


 

Where is the love?

 

"My friends, family, race, and world. I wrote this large poster not because I am a man of "Influence", as the position of "High Prophet" has been twisted and corrupted to be! I write this message to give a brief thought on how we spend our time. So, without further ado, I will begin speaking about myself.Speaking about myself, selfish? You can say so, but I do not mean to be, and am known not to be. I write about myself because like all Dwarves I share a common curse, Greed. Love it or not all Dwarves are cursed with it, and it is up to us to show how we use it. I for one am very odd when it comes to greed, because I do not have the same greed as many, I have a rare form of greed. As an individual, I have never thought of myself as high, I even try to push those up before me. I do not believe in personal gain. I my people, have greed for others. I spend my time making all those around me happy as best as I can. I am greedy in the sense of pleasure. I have a passion for making everyone I meet feel great, because I believe we do not have a lot of time on this land, and we must spend every second of it enjoying, loving, caring, and feeling. I assist in bringing happiness to others, and giving others what ever it is that makes everyone around them positive. So that being said let me begin to talk about our society. A week or so ago I was passing down the stone road and I saw a large Uruk beating and robbing a small child. Now being the bringer of happiness I am you would expect that I would stand and fight the Uruk for the boy hoping to save him. And I usually do, but this time... I watched. Watched as he was brutally beaten and slayed. Thrown like a used rag into the muck of death oh did I watch. I did not seek action because at this time I began to view there lives. I saw the Uruk as a child, I saw his family, friends. I saw his fear, hopes, dreams. Then I looked to the boy, I saw his unfinished tale, his loving mother, and father, his friends and playmates. I saw it all, and at that moment I began to feel inspired. Inspired by pain you might say but it was inspiration none the less. I saw how I was in comparison to others, and I would like to share this trait with others. I did not create it, I do not hold responsibility over it, I am not trying to bring it to your face or sell it to you, I want you to play with it, feel it out. For example, imagine friends your death, imagine seeing the Brathmodakin, Creator, Aenguls, whoever you worship. Now as Dwarves I see my kin look at themselves with honor and industry and mechanics and the like. I see them view there society as overall complexity, and there is nothing wrong with this. But tell me fellows, how do we explain Murder to them, how do we explain how we kill for the sake of gain. How we inflict hatred onto others. How we lie, steal, cheat. Tell me how we explain our love of indoctrination. Tell me how we explain or corruption and immorality. Tell me how we look to these beings and explain this. Is it really for the good of the "Chosen ones", do not kid yourself my kin. I composed a list of traits that we need to loose, or be lost to history from destruction brought on by out own mortal abomination. First more technology that lessens interaction, we need life! more Hatred, we need kindness! More discipline, we need gentle love! Applying these few traits... we can change so, so much. When we commit an Act of Random Kindness we show that we do care! how big or small the action may be. Clergymen! Will you practice what you preach? You tell us that God(s) bring('s) love, but you show corruption? You are worthless if you can not set an example of what our lords wish. Leave! you lead us away from unity, you discourage your own message! I often find myself screaming out in prayer "Yemekar, Yemekar help us!" we are so mislead by those who say they are those who we should follow. Do not follow anyone! Is that what it has come to? Clergy! Find the truth or find the door! Soldiers do not give yourselves to machine men who tell you how to move, think, and feel! Kings! do not suppress the views of others to benefit your own agenda! Find unity with others, do not let your people cause harm, do not set the example of harm! It pains me that this needs to be explained. We live in an age of knowledge, and yet we cannot behave with one another? Where is our common sense? In the beginning when the creator made all he did not plan for us to devalue his love for us to an extent that our own agenda should be viewed as so much more important then actual life! Life as I said before needs to be pleased at all time! This can and will not happen in a society of death. A society of murder! My brethren I am known to preach, I am known to say what I believe is right, but ask yourself, do you value life as much as you think you do? Do your actions convey your message? Do you show love, hope, kindness, compassion, emotion? or are you a flat disk, unwilling and unloving. When you do die, and meet a Deity in the other world, and he asks you what I presented.... what will you say? I didn't care enough.... I didn't think..... I didn't feel...... I'm afraid "I don't know" will not be a SUFFICENT AWNSER.

"Aye. More love! And more CHOMPS!"

Finian spots the paper, and raises an eyebrow,

 

"Wot language es t'is? T'is doesnae look organized..... should 'ave proof read et o' somefin."

 

Squints, trying to read it more carefully,

"Nae, dunnae knuh wot et's sayin'. Ah 'ope w'oevah wro'e t'is re-wroi'es et."
