Watership Down
The ruled by fear, when met with warnings, file them away hoping retrieval will never be necessary.
They disregard their natural sensibilities.
They are destined for oppression.
The ruled by lust for power are by their own greed driven.
Throwing caution to the wind, their natural sensibilities abide not in their hearts.
They are destined for destruction.
The determined to survive make mistakes, yes –
however, they purpose to learn from them to repeat them no more –
thus even more finely tuning their sensibilities.
They are destined for greatness.
These little rabbits aren’t so different from us after all … are they?
“These shadows had no power either to send him away or to hurt him, except with his own consent …
for they had no power to move him except by fear.”
Richard Adams, El-ahrairah – Watership Down

If only the fearful would wake up from their delusions.
If only the oppressors would think themselves human again.
Those who can see through the deceptions of hate and greed can truly achieve freedom, even if it costs them all.
We are not different at all.
