96. Monke speaks to the brotherdhood
Caos was not the most influential member of his family, at least that was a family for him. They would have different lives. After all, this did not actually have the best unity at all. That is to say that Monke and Doe would fight each other. In these battles, we would actually observe how frivolous how they could be. After all, they did not need to recognize the logic in their arguments. After all, they were emotional fucks. Indeed, they were pretty good friends. But in that regard, they could have been better.
In essence, having this friendship could actually reveal the best of both worlds. At least, this natural tendency to show up for others. The thing is, no one could actually recognize how beautiful you are. On this earth, very truly I tell you, it is difficult to get true friends. After all, no one could actually hold up to the conversation. But at least, it was enough for them to be true friends.
Monke: we know you want to have a girlfriend, but it mostly depends on your attitude. At least, to some degree, no one could actually see. Here is the catch: you tend to overestimate the value of pleasure. Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present. You do not have to be hedonistic. At least, not the extent of losing your soul for conquering world. We trust you, DOE. You are better than this.
Caos: It is the power of the mind to be unconquerable. To be honest, I did actually help him get a girlfriend in Japan. At least, it should be enough for him to get ahead of himself. The thing is, I am not sure whether they continue or shape their own path to destruction. After all, they could not take anyone seriously. Knowing this, the whole serious situation is that I do not how to help based on my first impression of their relationship. Until we have begun to go without them, we fail to realize how unnecessary many things are. We've been using them not because we needed them but because we had them.
Rooi: A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, 'You are mad; you are not like us. I mean, it is not like he had a chance at all. Sometimes, he can a be degenerate! I mean, it cannot work this way. This said, life could actually go ahead of this…. This hedonistic practice! Why is the truth, it would seem, revealed to some and not to others? Is there a special organ for receiving revelation from God? Yes, though usually we close it and do not let it open up: God’s revelation is given to something called a loving heart.
As they would discuss, a strong bond would be built by their love. At least, that is what we knew.
