If I can predict that I am going to think later, I might as well go ahead and think it now.
Explanation:
Chapter 72: SA, Plausible Deniability, Pt 7
The only person who needs to believe in you is you.
Humans are truly an interesting bunch.
Even when on the verse of death, they still cannot release themselves from their own falsehoods.
— Why didn't you let me die?
— What's your hurry? Are you in pain? That's all that matters. The rest is fantasy. Billions of years it's taken to evolve human consciousness... and you want to wipe it out. Wipe out the miracle of all existence. More important than anything in the whole universe. What can the stars do? Nothing... but sit on their axis. And the sun, shooting flames... 280,000 miles high... so what? Wasting all its natural resources. Can the sun think? Is it conscious? No, but you are.
Remember this, when you gain fame, when you gain wealth, when you gain position and seniority, people will treat you better, they will keep doors open for you. They will bring you a cup of tea and coffee even if you don't ask for it. They will call you sir and madam and give you things. None of this is meant for you, it's meant for the position you hold, it's meant for the level you've reached, leadership, success or whatever you want to call it. But you will always deserve the Styrofoam Cup. Remember this, remember this lesson of humility and gratitude. Just be grateful for them and know that they are not for you forever.
There are no excuses in combat. Remember, defeat, in addition to humiliation and dishonor, can bring death.
There is no such thing as an accident.
