[ On the Network today is an anonymous post, with what appears to be a transcribed fairy tale. How interesting... and random. ]

The God of Peace is always busy.
He is too busy to look in a mirror, and blows his horn every day.
The God of Peace's horn makes everyone happy.

The God of Peace is always busy.
He is too busy to look in a mirror, and pours his magical water.
The magical water creates green mountains, ripens crops, and makes flower gardens grow.

The God of Peace is always busy.
He is too busy to look in a mirror, and gives everyone a name.
"Your name is Otto. Your name is Hans. Your name is Thomas. Your name is Johan."
Johan gave his hat to the god as a gift in return.

The god was very happy.
Because he wanted to see himself wearing the hat, he stood in front of a mirror for the first time.
However, what he saw in the mirror was a demon. From inside the mirror, the demon spoke to him. "I am you, and you are me."

"Oh no! No one can live in peace with a demon like this! What should I do?"

So the troubled god ...

Tell me. How does the story end?

What if the only thing it likes to do is destroy?

[exloserspromise]

[HAHA funny you should ask that.]

Aim it at something that needs destroying and cut it loose. You might want to have an off-switch, though.

What needs destroying?

[exloserspromise]

Are we still talking metaphors, or is there something personal I should be aware of before I go spouting advice to strangers?

[notnina]

I was speaking metaphorically, but you can answer however you'd like.

[exloserspromise]

There's no hard and fast rule, but if something threatens innocent people and can't be reasoned with, you should at least pick a fight with it. Would-be conquerors are usually a pretty good example.

[notnina]

You mentioned an off-switch earlier. What if there is none?

[exloserspromise]

Then you do your best not to let it out in any situation where others can't stop it for you, I guess.

[notnina]

So confinement is the answer?

[exloserspromise]

That part, I don't know. [Which is the truth, even if it sounds like a cop-out.]
