My name is Saki Watanabe and it's been a while since I was last here. The feelings I have are still remarkably the same, but they're still a different teaching than some of the others here. The idea of war isn't something I know. Or, more so, it's thing that were I am from humans are incapable of. We have a strict Code of Ethics that we've been taught since we were born. The type of thing here in Asgard, then, isn't something I'm used to. Or maybe, to give a better idea, I should give an example.
In my town there are two stories we learn from a young age. The Story of the Fiend and the Story of the Karma Demon. Both are meant to teach us something different. The story of the fiend is longer, so I don't want to write that right now. That one is also more straight forward and tells us to listen to our elders and put the village above our own lives. The story I'm about to say is much different.

This story is from about eighty years ago. There lived a boy in the village. He was an incredibly bright child, but had one flaw. As he grew older, this flaw became more and more obvious.
He was extremely proud of his intelligence and looked at everything else with disdain.
( not in character cut for the rest of the story )
What do you think the moral we were taught is? It's much more straight-forward. How would you answer it?
