MARCUS

Sometimes, you have to do what's right

even if it kills you

even if you hate it.

Sometimes, you must break your idols

destroy your most treasured possessions

to make room

for something new.

Sometimes, that which you most love

must be slain.

It is a curse

to be put in such a position

but a blessing as well:

to be selected

to be able

to think cleanly enough

to make the cut

that may sever the hand

to save the arm.

There is a glory

in the gods choosing you

to make the hardest choices

to be the hero

that does what need be done.

Think of it that way

if it helps.
