My husband has made himself doubly confused.

Seol writes beautifully with the pen of doubt and belief, but twice he has doubled back and scrawled confusion over his words. The freshest ink reads, "I believe that I truly believe in my pleasure," but that is not the prayer his heart needs to raise up and gaze upon in order to heal his soul. For as he writes those words he frets about and doubts about the veracity of his beliefs, the possibility of a self-delusion, he may learn about what his mind considers necessary in order to deem some proposition true or false, but he will not learn to feel pleasure.

Astrolabe,

I feel as if I am always holding onto Tiddia just barely and then losing her again.

At the Pig, which Tiddia used to like, we met a strange and friendly draenei paladin-not-a-paladin, which pleased you a lot. You made something like hot chocolate for us and it was very tasty. But then there were scary drunk people and we left to go to the Slaughtered Lamb, which has a very morbid name.

That was the place that things began to get bad again. After you went home.

Astrolabe,

The things that pass for theological discussion in the Horde are really pitiful. Some paladin thinks he is very intellectual to stand up and lecture us about how we should be "united" without any solutions for enmity of undead and holy users, etcetera. The conclusion is "do not fight your allies because it is bad" and everyone applauds this profound statement.

Yuck!

I would like to see the disputationes of my mother Chihra's generation revived. A sermon which forbids disagreement is a little bit sick. Fearfully, it closes up to ideas that might nourish it. And everyone must listen, even to a thing that, to his heart, is very wrong, with no chance to protect his truth.

Your people had disputations, too, I think? Being people of the intellectual and arcane way and the holy way, like high elves were. Do they still happen? Or maybe disagreement is sealed up in the Alliance like in the Horde because people are afraid.

I promise I will write the last section soon. But I am so sleepy tonight.

It is a convention of language to refer to the Light as loving, punishing, forgiving, or scorning, but evidence seems to suggest -- and theologians have already argued -- that such expressions are creatively anthropomorphic. It is a popular opinion within the Church that the Light ~~is above~~ does not have opinions or emotions such as those of gods or (troll deity thingies). Instead, theologians prefer to characterize the Light as an opinion or emotion. This theory tends to take three forms using three different senses of the word "love." First, the Light may be an opinion, the love of good thoughts and actions. Second, the Light may be a universal, brotherly love among beings. Third, the Light may be a universal, motherly love towards beings.

Astrolabe,

The Horde has many very strange people.

But I asked a shaman about how to make sick spirits into well spirits. She said shaman can do it, but it is not common. A helpful ancestor usually dies and becomes an ancestor right away. And when someone makes a sick spirit peaceful, it usually disappears. So there is no common medicine she knows to make sick into well. I think this means it will be even more hard to find a very rare medicine to make sick naaru well.

We will search when you are with me again. I imagine you now are a stronger and wiser paladin than I. For you it will not be so hard.

~~I forgot what else I was writing tonight.~~

My shaman friend, Shuuken, named me "Seol, the Doubter." She means that it is good ~~but I am very afraid of what will happen when we publish~~

The Common word good has many ambiguities. For instance, when one says the Light is good, he usually means that the Light has absolute, positive ethic value. However, if one says chocolate is good, he usually means that it brings comfort and pleasure.

We who follow the faith of the Light are ~~indoctr~~ taught that the Light is absolute ethic good. This belief dictates that those who utilize the Light must be good and that those who are destroyed by it must be evil. This seems a sufficient theory for ~~humans~~ those who live in cities under the Light, protected by paladins who shield them from the undead and lose their powers if they stray from goodness.

But at times, this theory seems to ~~be inconsistent~~ fall short of a wholly satisfying explanation regarding some phenomena of the ~~larger~~ world.
