~ Antillia : Where Monsters Lie ~

There is a land that humans to not dare tred. What exactly keeps them away they have never been able to understand. There is an evil that brews there, the same evil that wards humans from so much of the earths surface. Humans who dare to defy nature never return

✿ Is it better to be oblivious or is it better to know the truth?

“I...” She had been about to say to know the truth, it felt like the right answer, the one she would be expected to give. Ignorance could never be prepared, could it? Her words caught in her throat. Finally, she had no choice but to speak, unsure as her words were. “Perhaps I envy those who are oblivious, who believe the best in others, in themselves. Those who have never had any reason to doubt that the world will work out the way they want it to. But being oblivious was never a choice I had. I must know the truth because I cannot help but see it, because I cannot help the fact that it was shown to me.”

✖ Is it better to hurt others or let yourself be hurt?

She raised her eyebrows in disbelief. “Find me one person who would choose to let themselves be hurt, and I will find you a liar.” Her eyes had steeled, refusing to make contact with anyone else in the room. “Everyone is selfish, some are good at pretending otherwise, but it is a lie. I protect myself, at all costs.”

✔ Is it better to be in the right or do the right thing?

“The right thing, what a beautifully elusive concept. Who defines the right thing? What gives me, or anyone else, the right to decide on right? To be in the right is to be accepted, supported. To be in the right is to have societies approval. That is more valuable than anything. No matter how misguided, or uninformed that approval is. It is better to be in the right.”

† Is it better to forgive others or seek vengeance on them?

“Neither. Both options suggest waiting until it is too late. I prefer to be one step ahead, to be prepared. Betray others before they can betray you. Never let anyone close enough to need forgiveness later on. If you expect the worst of everyone no one can disappoint you. I would prefer that others be asked this question about me. They can choose between forgiveness and vengeance. I will hopefully already be too far away for it to matter.”

✦ Is it better to personally be happy or give happiness to others?

“I do enjoy to give happiness to others. But that is the problem, we seek to do right by others in order to feel pleasure ourselves, to ensure later gain, to appear righteous in the eyes of God, or in the eyes of our peers. To give happiness to others is always done with the aim of being personally happy, either now or in the future. We can be personally happy without giving happiness to others, we cannot give happiness to others without being personally happy.

❤ Is it better to love someone or to be loved by someone?

“Requited love has always sounded wonderful, but it is a fallacy. I am not so gullible as to believe in equal love. One is always more infatuated than the other. One is in control, one has lost control. I know which one I would prefer. I would be loved. Every time. And I would pray I am able to utilise the others weakness against them.”
