ROTM 1.1.a

How much is too much?

If mankind had the first clue about how to answer this, there'd be no addictions, no crime, and no wars waged in the pursuit of power, territory and overall domination. By the time you realize you've bitten off more than you can chew, you're in deep shit. If you're lucky, you only end up ruining your life instead of losing it completely.

Or, if you choose to look at this from the angle of human endurance, what constitutes 'too much' depends on physical and mental strength. I can guarantee that what I've been through in my life would be too much for the average man. I also know that there are men who can suffer greater trials than anything I can survive.

'Too much' is relative and too subjective for me to feel comfortable giving a definitive answer. For me, there's no such thing because I've learned too many lessons about my own limits. I will never let myself get to the point where anything is too much for me.

Lackey. Assassin. Thug. Traitor.

On the surface, I appear to be all of these things and nothing more. I know it eases a lot of minds if people can believe that, but nothing's ever that simple. Appearances, as a wise man once said (I assume it was a man), can be deceiving. Yes, on a superficial level, I am all of those things, but it's not without reason. I don't kill for sport, I kill for a purpose; I don't betray just to be a prick, I do it for survival; I do whatever dirty work or deeds that are asked of me if they'll advance my cause. I don't make excuses for my actions - people who do that are pussies - I'm only telling you the way things are.

The next time you choose to judge me because of what I've done, remember two things: I don't give a shit what you think of me, and I wouldn't think twice about doing them to you if I had to.
