Hope is for the delusional, this is a case of the blind leading the blind. Do not let this person named Flinn, lead you with a broken hand into oblivion. They promise diamonds, but will pay in sand. Hope is but a fallacy, while Despair is your reality.

Is it better to cling onto hope which only festers complacency, or to embrace Despair so that you see what is true before you? Despair is what will allow one to act on facts and proceed with a clear mind. I ask you, Flinn, when will Duiran join the war, or has that complacency already wormed its way into your brain?
