Many paths pervade this place, freedom is a very present thing, a foundational idea, in the world of today, for all of human history, people thought they should be free, but can their minds comprehend the idea, what they would be, many don’t wish to see, but a lot of you are birds chirping, squirrels hoarding, even worse, you're soldier ants, butterflies, and preying mantis, some of you grow, it becomes better, your memory, long-lived elephants, and panthers hunting, alas, all of you are mortal men, do you wish to know the path out of samsara, I’ll tell you now, it is blasphemy, after you escape, you’ll burn for eternity, wishing you were just happy, satisfied in our prison cell, it’s all we can hope to be.

I went to hell, I was looking for demons, something for my stomach to fill, but what did I find, just a bunch of children, who thought they were angels, it was in the depths of hell, it sort of made sense, that it was their domain, anyways, what was I saying, just poking fun, but yeah, looking at from here, even that was an achievement for them, congratulations.
