Why is the Internet like this?
I am highly disappointed in it.
Surely there is more to it than this.

Everyone can be much better than this.
Much, much better.
Honestly.

And whoever told my god about these cellphones, I would like a word.
Many of them.

I am publicly shaming you for your behavior so that you will cease.
Please stop sending me SO MANY messages.
And no, I do not like any of the emoji.
None of them.
Not one of them.

I've only just started.
I can't say what it has accomplished.
But it will do more than apathy and avoidance.

Enjoy your cyclical complaining.

I will.
Far more than false sense of superiority while contributing nothing, but we have only just met.
I am certain there is some worth to you.

[Superiority? This is just the way she sees the world- a pessimist at heart.]

Complaining about things that are unchanging is foolish. You will continue to bring up your concerns and human nature will continue the way it was.

[As for that last line, she complete ignores it. Worth? To her?
Only as a shinki.]

Believing people cannot change is foolish.
Believing you cannot do anything and so do nothing is foolish.
Telling others to give up on wanting more for others is foolish.
I am not an optimistic person but I am a person that would rather do my job to the best of my abilities than only what will get me by to the next day.

Other people are not my job.
If they want to keep making their mistakes, so be it. They may have opportunities to change, but that doesn't mean they will.
A person's decisions are their own. No matter how much you might want them to do something different.

My job is to protect my god. That is something worth putting effort into.

Our job is not just to our gods but to humanity.
Those that pray to our god.
Those that wanted them.
I may be new but I have very strong feelings toward my charges.
If I have to clean this place up, then so be it.

Furthermore, we are their conscience. We should attempt to be that here, too.

My god has a better conscience than I do.

[deference]

I am going to ask you to do one thing.
Strive to be better.
Your god relies on you.
You are to protect them.
That means in all aspects.

[timeshields]

[Is there a way to improve a conscious?]

I'll try.

[deference]

Thank you.
And you see, complaining does bring about some results.
Try to complain more rather than avoid what is distressing.
