A shift in power, and yet no changes. Surprising? I think not.

Work has been ridiculously pointless these days. I ask you, Purgatorium, what good are all these crime-fighting organizations when we don't seem to succeed at all and there is no crime to fight?

In a place as hopeless as this hell, what is there really left to do? Wouldn't every human being strive for more comfort and safety? Then why do at least 70% of this place live on the lower level, where it isn't safe and housing is nearly worthless? Is it the will for punishment? Are you punishing yourself by staying here and doing nothing?

If there is any truth to the theories about the evolution of man, where are the people who try to work for a better tomorrow? Those who fight against the odds, just so they will achieve what they yearn for?

Everyone in this place has given up hope when it is supposedly human nature to strive, strive and strive. A hand smacking you down should only make you get up once again. Isn't that how man has managed to come this far in this universe? Trying to build. Trying to invent. Regardless of all higher powers that try to force you down... is it fear? Fear of God, that stops everyone from even trying?

I once knew a man who conquered that fear... who wasn't afraid to work towards his goal. Was he really the only one in this universe to have that courage?


Or perhaps, all of this is a farce. Maybe none of you are really alive here but merely images this hell has produced for me. My own personal hell. It does sound sort of lovely, doesn't it?

I haven't really seen anyone try, even for their own sake. Many people have either gone completely quiet and wallowing in self-pity somewhere in the corner of their broken cottage, or they openly post about their issues that need solving while they don't actually try to solve them.

Purgatorium needs more than people crying over themselves.

They say they repent. But do they really? I don't know. Who are we to judge? It doesn't concern me, so I don't care. LOL.

And what will you do about it, if you're so concerned?

[citrinitas-668.livejournal.com]

Try to gather people to do more than cry to themselves, obviously. Try to go against this so-called god who destroys all our attempts at creating something. If we aren't given any directions on how to repent, we might as well make this place our home, a safe one.

You're after a coup d'état?

[citrinitas-668.livejournal.com]

Don't you think it would at least stir things up? Even if you don't succeed and end up being smitten by the god--at least you tried. At least you gave your existence, however short, a meaning by living for something.

Fear is such a petty thing.

I like the way you think.

Risks are worth taking, if you think they'll pay off.

At this point in time, I don't, but I'd be interested in seeing how it plays out.

Very well. I'm rather sick of waiting for a change, so whatever the consequences for doing something rash will be, I'll bear them.

[ex-regenera246.livejournal.com]

umm... Be careful what you say. I got in trouble for suggesting the same thing but in a joking manner.

[citrinitas-668.livejournal.com]

Then at least something would happen, wouldn't it? I'm not afraid of consequences.

[ex-regenera246.livejournal.com]

you keep saying that but don't actually do anything. How are we supposed to take you seriously?

[citrinitas-668.livejournal.com]

All right, I'm sorry, I'll stop responding now and start planning, is that all right for you? I thought you might want to finish this conversation, but if you're so impatient...

I want a leader who acts like a leader and not someone else that whines about the situation.

[citrinitas-668.livejournal.com]

Firstly, I am not trying to be a leader.

Secondly, I am not trying to be a leader you want.

Thirdly, as most people seem to use the networks to whine, do let me keep my right to whine as well, before I go and take action.

Here's hoping this one doesn't end with threats on my life.

[ex-regenera246.livejournal.com]

well she isn't your girlfriend so you should be just fine.

[ttlymostspecial.livejournal.com]

I might get punished just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

[ex-regenera246.livejournal.com]

that's probabaly likely, for us.
