Awake!
Awake, thou happy sleeper; thus his inner voice ranted. But alas! his sleep was too happy.
Awake!
Look outside, lest ye miss thy mark! And he did.
For when he opened his eyes he saw before him none of his memory. And the wanderer sulked for a minute, and then he said to himself thus: “
What harm is there in walking? Before stupidity became a fashion, were they not used to walking?” And so he walked.
And along his way he pranced and preached, “
Hail he who hurries! How he misses no wave!” And upon distancing himself from the start by a mile, he came across a young woman, or the young woman came across him, for she was the prettiest thing for distances; her hair smooth as silk, hanging from her head like a curtain, eyes piercing, nose sharp, skin as fine as that of a baby. Yes, she was the prettiest thing for distances, and he very well knew.
As Lilith she approached the wanderer, and thus she said: “
Hello stranger, you look worthy of contentment! You who have no worries, you who have no restrictions. You are a free spirit; a spirit without societal morals. You who follow not, but lead! Take me to your home, that I may bestow upon thee the pleasure and gratification of a hundred, and that I may enjoy the pleasure of your company.”
And the wanderer said unto her, “
Begone, wretch! For you, albeit perfect in appearance, promise the world but deliver nothing! You who promotes infidelity, bah! Begone! What have I to gain from thy company? You tempt beggars with shiny coins, only that they may realize that they are not of gold. You succubus, you harbinger of Temptation, it is your master who tricked me from my Eden! Hence begone!”
Thus he bade farewell to Temptation, and he continued to traverse a distance, and he came upon a young man. He was dashing in appearance; blonde hair and bright face, his sleek appearance seemed to strike at every person who walked by, and his pale blue eyes seemed deluded and lost in the clouds, yet clear as drinking water.
As a Narcissus he caught the wanderer by the eye, and thus he said: “
Ave, stranger! What charm, that you may stare at me, and that I may stare back! Surely, you are aware of your circumstance; surely for that, you feel content! Upon a pedestal the gods have placed me; an Adonis! For as I am, beautiful and knowledgeable, I am proud, and thus do I welcome you to join me at the apex of the world.”
And the wanderer said unto him, “
Insult! that I may be compared to thee. You who preach self-glorification and contempt, you who place your gifts unto an unreachable platform to be untouched by all. Your Pride is unparalleled! You Satan, you Lucifer! Burn you will, for your Pride. I say not that it is ill-placed, but I say unto you, pride should never transcend into arrogance; the former is justified, the latter unforgivable. Be discontent, that you may strive towards contentment. Thus start on your Pride, you must!”
Hence the wanderer left Pride thinking, before he went on his way. He shook his head in disappointment, that these encounters sapped his energy so. And then, in front there materialized a figure, and just when the wanderer felt despair, there came the figure’s voice.
And it said: “
Fear not, for I am your Self. I am your Simple Will, and with me you will walk.”
And thus they walked, and although not a word was said, the two worlds intertwined and mixed, for fascinating worlds they were, so much so that they could not be constrained in the mind.
Here! The wanderer could see his destination in the distance. Then, his Simple Will said thus: “
Carry me wherever you go, into the abysmal depths of knowledge and inquiry, by the pestiferous influences of society, that you may not lose thyself in the myriad of immorality. ‘Twas you who called me, ‘twas you who found me, now you must use me, your Will to Power, that your goals be fulfilled.”
And here the wanderer came steps away from his destination, and he hugged the mysterious figure and bade it goodbye, for he knew he had found his own Simple Will. Thus he continued walking from that day forth, but it felt different now, for he no longer walked as society, but he walked as himself. And he was so tired upon entering his abode that he immediately retired to his bed, lest another encounter look for him at his doorstep, and he be too tired to answer.

Okay, as y'all can tell, I am going to shut down my computer for two, three weeks. For thus I say no to temptation and contempt, and START MUGGING FOR EOY. Mhmm. I won't be online AT ALL!
So yes, goodbye all! May fungus not grow on my motherboard while I am away!
