Angelic Missives

[sdi]

I'm moving again soon, and in preparation for doing so I'm clearing out my old notebooks and the like. I found several messages in them (which I had totally forgotten about) from the various angels I'm in contact with, and I thought some might find them edifying.

Angel. Man's capacity for evil is much greater than his capacity for good. This is not due to any inborn, sinful nature, but simply logistics: one may destroy with a single stroke of a sword, but it takes many strokes of a hammer to create.

Angel. Learning to be graceful with a material body is like training for martial arts while wearing weights. Just imagine how you will do when you aren't weighed down any more!

@sdi. *mope*

Angel. You take too dim a view of your accomplishments.

@sdi. But what have I accomplished? I worry that all I've cultivated is myself!

Angel. And what is wrong with that? That is all you can take with you!
