To understand the sacrifice the Emperor has done one must first know the euphoria that is love, and the nightmare that is fear. For the Emperor loves us all equally and unendingly, and he fears for us at all times. His is a life dedicated to protecting humanity for the fear that what he loves may forever be lost, and therefore he lives for us.
And when a being, so perfect in every way as to classify as a god, loves something, who am I to say I do not love humanity? How can I not, when something so powerful is willing to suffer eternity in fear and pain and silence for the sake of man, how can I then believe that humanity is evil?
And so, when I see a human being, I see their flaws and their quirks, and I love them for it, for that is what makes them them, and it is them that the Emperor so loves!
So I will never be one to strike out against my fellow man in hate, for hate is a powerful and evil thing and we are not evil. Like a hollow copy of the Emperor, I will turn to embrace all creatures, to show kindness and understanding and not judge hastily, if at all.
And so should you, all, for a single brush stroke can be perfect, but a masterpiece is only truly made when a hundred strokes share the canvas.
The Emperor Protects.
