Culmination Quotes

“He wasn’t sure if it was just the brightness of the sun beaming down on him, tickling his skin with a faint warmth, or if he truly had come to some sort of profound understanding. But all he could do was deal with the moment in front of him, not worrying about the moment that would come after it. All he could do was apply the laws as best he could in his current situation with his current knowledge.”

“I completely lack any of the complicated second-guessing that plagues you humans. I chose this path because I thought it provided the best opportunity for me to achieve my goals. I have no idea what the future will hold. All I know is that, currently, the sun is shining, my roots have ample nutrients and moisture, and my desire to grow and explore is being fulfilled. I’ll prepare as best I can for what might come. But in truth, even if the sun wasn’t shining, even if there weren’t enough nutrients, or water was scarce, the eternal flame would allow me to survive. And whether I grow to be a hundred times my current size, or if I’m reduced to the size of a root, my perspective on the world won’t change. Regret is, in my opinion, a rather silly affair.”
