A Debate [text | un: orator]

[chiefkeyward]

[ Lahabrea hasn't made his presence known much since his arrival here. Nevertheless, he has a question he wishes to ask that may spark a lively debate. He has no need for anonymity on his part, so this mysterious "orator" can be addressed accordingly. After much thought, he decides to type the following: ]

[That's just one of many questions to come.]

Is this so? I was blissfully unaware of how frequently this topic arises.

People are always questioning their right to existence or love or compassion. Everyone is seeking some form of validation from the masses. As if anyone can convince them what they don't believe themselves.

[chiefkeyward]

Mayhap encouragement is all we seek here in a world so unfamiliar and strange.

[badsunrising]

That is different from perpetual existential crises.

What is the reason for yours?

[chiefkeyward]

[Oh, good question. While Lahabrea hesitates to answer, he finds himself almost compelled to do so. However, he'll omit certain facts about himself out of caution.]

I'm seeking for a reason to live after losing everything I've ever known.
