Shin'Ar,
There is no gain in deception where the goal is understanding. I simply attempt to paint the clearest possible picture of myself, in order to attain greater understanding. I am as I am, neither a wicked caricature, nor a beloved antihero. It is not my intent to seduce others into the dark, from their natural path. Those of an STS predilection will find their way on that path one way or another, without any help from me. There are those who stare into the night and see a boogeyman that sends them running towards the light. Others smile into the abyss and greet it as an old lover and friend, welcoming its glorious challenge. Where you see STS society as a hellish battle for supremacy, with every entity vying for domination of the other, I see a spiritual Agoge, where all that is superfluous and weak is rooted out and the self is honed to the finest point of will and being. While you may find this repugnant and cruel, I no less find the idea of an STO society nauseating and stagnant.
