[quote] Twenty-two years ago, I stood where I stand now, and watched my loved ones die at the hands of those I called friends. Vengeance clouded my mind; it would have consumed me were it not for the wisdom of a few strangers, who taught me to look past my instincts. They never preached answers, but guided me to learn from myself. We don't need an anyone to tell us what to do, not Savonarola ,not the Medici; we are free to follow our own path. There are those that will take that freedom from us, and too many of you gladly give it.But it is our ability to choose -what ever you think is true - that makes us human... There is no book or teacher to give you the answers, to show you the path; choose your own way! Do not follow me... or anyone else.
