"Grief never ends, but it changes. Its a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith. It is the price of love."
All I had asked was one simple question. All I had asked was if he was okay because I could hear him cursing all the way up the path at the shrines. A simple 'yes' or 'no' would have sufficed, but he felt it was more appropriate to stand there and shout at me that he wasn't okay. My ears tilted back and I frowned at him as he ranted about being tired and hungry and wanting to be left alone and how he was forced to answer my question. "You were not forced to do anything!" I snapped back at him, because I didn't care for his attitude when all I had asked was a simple question. I didn't think I deserved the treatment that he was giving me. "I did not force you to answer my question, you answered of your own free will. If you hadn't wanted to answer you could have just walked away and ignored me."
He turned and his hooves slipped on the rocks, but I made no move to help him. At that point I felt that if he fell and bruised his body and his pride he deserved it for being a jerk. He caught himself then kept his rant going, apparently feeling like it was appropriate to insult me in the process. I snorted at him and stamped a golden hoof against the rocks that I stood on. "Ever think that you're not getting what you want from them because you already are like everyone else? Selfish, self-centered, demanding, and disrespectful?" I asked haughtily. I was no advocate for any of the gods, the only ties I had to them were severed with the death of my brother, but I still recognized how powerful they were. I still knew how easily they could snuff out a life just because they could. I wouldn't put it past the Moon Goddess to kill someone for disrespecting her.
"Crawling, bowing, offering lip-service and then shouting in surprise and pain when they show what they're really like; cold, callous, self serving, as if you really believed that they cared?"
"Is that what you were just doing?" I asked. "Cawling, bowing, offering lip-service to them... probably all of which were false because you just want to get your way like everyone else. Right?" My tail snapped against my hocks and I snorted again as he stepped forward. "Why don't you ask yourself a simple question. Would you be inclined to help you?"
I wouldn't.
