Why we are here
Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2024 12:24 am
I was here active in Aksum before. Participating in its locations in the virtual worlds. However, I brought rl into things in, and it opened the door to what I was doing and did in RL to be exposed but not advertised. I respect the man that rp's as Rasim Aeon for respecting my privacy and not blasting me.
However, I think I need to, at the risk of violating a rule. I drank the kool aid of a cult. An unpatriotic cult. I was some place that I should not have been in early January of a particular year, while a major activity was happening. I thought was right. A jury of my peers, and I can say they were my peers, decided that I was wrong, no matter who said I should be where inside I knew I should not have been.
When I went through what I went through afterwards, including almost being dishonorably discharged from the military, I reached out for assistance, and got none. When I reached out to the man we know as Rasim, I got some stern words, that broke me down, but I also got forgiveness.
So now I am back, as new or renewed person. That drink i was drinking that led me down a path of foolishness, I now detest. Because it is wrong.
Through this, I am intentionally not saying details to avoid causeing a rucus or bringing too much real life into this. Just know, this is how we got here.
Why I am here now, is because of the honor of a man that I followed in war but disagreed with on the fundamentals of what our shared homeland believed in. I am not drinking his koolaid, nor promoting a cult, but if there was one, I would be one of his high priest. If this was a real nation, I would be his main follower trying every day to get the forgiveness, that I don't believe I deserve, even though it has been given.
I believe the rl separation rules are partly because of me.
I just thought you all should know.
