Blackfeather Woods courage is knowing what not to fear

thanks <3 i love playing him, and our threads together are some of my favourites. :) their dynamics are so complex <3

'How would you answer that question'. How very Damien to deflect yet another question. More information was gathered by the question's deflection however. Cicero might have pressed for an answer any other time, but right now he did not want to take anything. He just wanted to give with what little time he had left.

On a personal level, Cicero guessed that Damien already knew what the purpose of life was. The guess was hardly truly a guess, for it was no secret in Cicero's eyes, the devotion he carried towards Damien. Should he live a life by his brother's side, it would be a life fulfilled for him.

Yet on a more global level, there was really no telling. It was a complex story, truly, especially because what created it was all these individuals in the world and their own reflections on meaning. Or was the meaning biologically driven, were they no more than mere animals? There was no telling, and so to give an objective answer would be difficult.

"It is a very complex question," said Cicero. "There is no knowing if the lives of wolves are truly driven by spiritual beings and their bidding, if it will bring purpose to do as they please. Yet there is also no proof wolves are merely beasts looking for procreation and no more. Cicero thinks the latter cannot be true as a sole element, at least." He did not speak of the former, wishing no disrespect upon their religion. For faith was a form of purpose, regardless of whether the deities were real or not.

He continued to say, "Cicero thinks that the purposes of all individuals are what create life's purpose, in a way. Of course..." He looked at Damien and smiled fondly; "Many do not know their own purposes." Either because they had never thought on them, or because they did not wish to face what was deep inside of them.
