Home is people. Not a place. If you go back there after the people are gone, then all you can see is what is not there any more.

How do you politely explain to someone that you had believed for years he was a moron as well as a Fool?

For the weakest has but to try his strength to find it, and then he shall be strong.

It's too late to apologize for. I have already forgiven you.

Sometimes it seems unfair that events so old can reach forward through the years, sinking claws into one's life and twisting all that follows it. Yet perhaps that is the ultimate justice: we are the sum of all we have done added to the sum of all that has been done to us. There is no escaping that, not for any of us.

Besides, if there were no dragons of flesh and blood and fire, whence would come the idea for these stone carvings?

Be a man. Discover where you are now, and go on from there, making the best of things. accept your life, and you might survive it. If you hold back from it, insisting this is not your life, not where you are meant to be, life will pass you by. You may not die from such foolishness, but you might as well be dead for all the good your life will do you or anyone else.
