Pact - Hamartiology

             

            Man-things. Timid, short-lived, arrogant creatures. One watched many man-things, many generations. Most Man-things alike. Man-things fight each other to boast, but accomplish little with short lives. No work of man-thing lasts long. Few Man-things see beyond self.

            Man-things think selves masters, most intelligent of living things. False. One’s kind, other kinds, much more intelligent than man-things. Evidence in man-thing behavior with kin. Many man-things greedy, but deny such. Man-things like primatives of One’s kind- seeking dominion over others. No honor for own works. No honor for kin’s works. Man-things honor strength, forget wisdom, knowing.
            Man-things seek no council. All taken by force, never gained through lessons. Man-things turn aside betters for selfish paths, led by own desires.  Man-things quick to learn only new ways to conquer.
            Man-things watch, but impatient. Man-things miss much, see little. Inferior vision makes inferior knowing, ignorance. Ignorance make man-things think selves greater than One’s kind; believe One’s kin wild, reckless. Believe own kind wise, strong. One learned patience waiting in sunlight for strength, stretching wings for first flight.  Lesson Man-things not learn. Man-thing learn by conquest, fail to ask slain masters secrets.

            One knows such things. Thus knowing, One performed Gunaha. Second greatest of such, a Rakta-Cukti. One bestowed a gift upon Man-thing, a she, monarch. One hopes she will protect the land.
            One knows King, King’s father’s fathers, several ancestors. One watched all. Not despicable, for Man-things. Man-things in One’s land prefer reason to conquest, unlike neighbors. Man-things recognize One’s power, avoid One’s space, respect One’s territory. Rare traits among Man-things. Worth protecting.
            One’s kind remembers all in lifetime. One’s shame lasts all One’s lifetime. Knowing, One makes not choices in haste. One knows well One’s own, and One knows Man-things, but older kin know more. Older kin may judge different. See greed in One, other man-thing qualities, despicable things in favor of One’s territory. Still, One’s Rakta-Cukti resembles that of another of One’s kin.
            One has flown southern seas. Spied Man-things with gift of One’s kin, but not.  One from the seas.  Generations of man-things since, no harm transpires. Shared territory between kinds. Compromise protects both. Older kin bore witness, judged not.
            Now, One flies own territory. Waits in sunlight. Watches kingdom. Older kin will know. May find One, judge One.  Older kin will know One judged the man-things for courage over greed, strength over strength. Wisdom. Respect.  Older kin judge One favorably, One hopes. See wisdom One sees.  One will know soon enough.
