Frustrationa



Ignorant people...everywhere. I observe many people everyday, seeing how they truly are, not what they deem they are. People look at me and assume I am ill or I'm a brigand. They are wrong but assume none the less. I see many others hide behind fake bravery, pretend they have no fear but their bodies do not lie. It's an odd thing, how some people talk about their strength and their Valor, how they could easily dispatch you yet when it comes time to dispatch someone they don't..why? I myself do not think myself the greatest warrior, I have confidence in my skills but I know when I am outmatched. People here..they don't. I feel people hide behind their own masks, masks of fake strength and arrogance but as I stated to Pantera, the young Dalish lass I met, "mouths lie, bodies don't" you can't hide your true nature, no matter how still you stand, no matter what you say. If I was threatened, or challenged, I would not talk my way out. I would grant the wish of my challenger. But people are ignorant, ignorant to others and themselves, they lie to themselves by acting as they do. It is only the weak who feel the need to act and show strength. Meeting Pantea, she is strong. She shows her emotion and does not hide behind a mask of lies. But here I am venting once more, should stop and go back to my experiments and studies.
