Re: Delays, Choices and the Future
Well, firstly let me apologise for the delay. A certain angel came back from her holiday and managed to spill a very powerful hallucinogenic and somewhat sticky drink over herself and get in into the main server. It started a big fire and the angels have been trying to get the right hardware to fix the broken bits off Microsoft, and it took a while. They didn't include the right drivers...
Still, a few threats and such later and it was all sorted out. Just goes to show that if you want hardware delivered fast with the right drivers, choose someone other than Microsoft.
Now, thinking about those who have died isn't a problem. It becomes one when humans allow it to affect them inside. I can only repeat what I have said many times. You can control your feelings, because they're nothing more powerful than you. They are part of you, and therefore can be subjugated if you so choose.
Changing the next generation, or the ones after that might not happen, and it makes no actual difference to me. Still, given where you say you want to go, you might be well served thinking about these things. Actually what you've said is somewhat wrong, I have less 'power' to change the world than you do. I have committed myself to not directly interfering with what will be, and what you do will therefore have a far greater impact. There's a saying, "a butterfly beating its wings in one country can cause a typhoon in another". This is completely true. Every event ripples outwards, causing minor changes at first, and making possible greater changes later on. In this way, the colour of the shoes you choose to wear tomorrow could begin or end a war.
Working for material goods isn't a bad thing. When you get a job (in theory) the hours, pay, holiday time, etc are clearly laid out and a contract is signed. Children do not need to be manipulated to learn this lesson, because it will be perfectly obvious when they are old enough to work. For all humans a lesson is needed, that if you lie to your children, (albeit to protect their innocence or save their feelings) your children will end up lying to you, likely for the same reasons as you to them.
The day will come when philosophy will have a tangible benefit to the world. If people do not make use of this, their technology will (as it is now) advance faster than their minds will. Eventually, a 'critical mass' will be reached. Technology will become powerful enough for a madman or fool to destroy the world from his living room.
You don't have to start a new intimate relationship, it is not essential to human well being to be in one. Still, that doesn't mean you can't make some new friends. Get out there and meet people, find a new hobby you can share with someone. Just make some kind of genuine connection, and the loneliness will begin to dissipate.
If you were to ask Damien why he cheated on you, and he was to answer honestly, what do you think he'd say? It is of course, something many partners go through, so try to think on a more general level when you answer that.
Things happen for one reason, they have to happen to make the experience possible. To have a 'better time of it', you just need to change what's important to you. There are always other hobbies, new things to be explored. A lot of them can even be done with other people.
Damien deserves a happy ending because he's done nothing inherently wrong. Just like Stalin. I say this, because there IS nothing inherently wrong. Human beings choose what they care about, their moral values and beliefs. None of it is gospel.

Signature - There'll be time for explanations later. And hopefully, some sex!
Additional :
The above message was stored in a drafts folder as Gabriel typed her part while very drunk and on fire, which was really her own fault since she started the fire by pouring her drink over her foot, and then shoved her foot into the server via the PSU.
She has been taken to hospital, and the server is off limits for now.
