Character: Varrick

- Once in the Shadows I saw memories of a man who lived alone on the island. All his compatriots died: someone from the disease, someone was killed by some animal. His wife died in childbirth. He survived one. He could try to escape, to find a new land, a new people. But he wouldn't. Every day he was out fishing in a frail little boat, and at night drank cider and watched the stars.
Well, it could be worse.
How can you enjoy life, by giving up and knowing in advance that you will take all? How can you not try to fight?
- Probably, it all depends on the quality of the cider.
- Probably. But, it turns out, you were happy to bask in the sun, thinking about who you could be? Not trying to fight?
- You still do not understand, Smean. It is a struggle.
- Weak-willed to accept his fate - it is a struggle?
- In your story about the fisherman who looked at the stars... do You think he gave up, right?
Yes.
- But he continued to live. He lost everything, but still got up in the morning. He got his food, even when he is alone. This is the world. You build - it destroys. All that you have, he will ever take. Everything goes. The choice is only whether to omit the hands in anticipation of death or to continue the path. He continued on his way. If you can adequately respond to the world, and the only way.
Well said. Maybe I was wrong.
