A Firefly's Monologue #26

"You chose to be kind. So you must be kind. You have no right to complain. It's your choice. You're lying, right"

"The world can be cruel."

"Why?"

"It is what I chose."

"You can change, right?"

"I can but I cannot."

"Sometimes, you do not make sense. Do you know that?"

"It's time that hold things in constant. And what is is both unchanging and change. A soul can be hardened, steeled and refined but that soul would still be the same."

"You're missing the point. I don't want you to be always kind. The world is hurting you, you must fight back."

"I can but won't. Unnecessary actions are wasted efforts. The world is cruel but it is just."

"And if justice takes too long to happen?"

"It will still happen."

"What would happen to you? Won't you get hurt knowing your kindness and efforts put to waste?"

"Life goes on, either way."

"You know. You are only unkind to yourself."

"I have my own intentions. It is my own. My actions, misactions and inaction, I know for certain will bear fruit one way or another."

"And if it won't?"

"It will or it won't. Either way, life goes on."
