Sentiment makes us fools, and yet, without sentiment, we would be little better than dumb instruments wielded by the gods in their incomprehensible games.
This is a recurring theme in the Dandelion Dynasty. After calculation and weighing the benefits and costs, ultimately every decision of moment must come down to a leap of faith, to emotion and sentiment. This is because emotion and sentiment are how we assign meaning to this essentially random universe.

This is the human condition, and my characters can become heroes only after accepting this truth.
