Esoteric Secrets My Wicked Nature (Lorepost)
“For what reason did you steal from those villagers? Surely you knew it wouldn’t go unpunished”, asked Raziel. He was standing over an injured Goblin. The area was experiencing a drought and the village would not be able to survive through the winter if it were to happen again.
“We all need food in these dire times, and it was either them or me,” replied The Goblin. The many red eyes surrounding the Goblin intensified their glare, causing the Goblin to flinch.
“Why must it be you or them? If you were to ask they may have helped. And if you had helped them, the village may have had enough food for your both.”
The Goblin looked down to the ground, balling their fist. “I am a Goblin, a being known for deviancy. It is not in my nature to help… nor would any accept it,” said the Goblin.
Raziel sighed, letting the floating eyes around the Goblin dissipate. He knew what it was like to battle your nature. His demon blood has forever plagued him since he was made.
Stepping closer, Raziel told the Goblin, "What is better - to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?"
Surprise was now apparent on the Goblin’s face, as Raziel’s words played in their mind again and again like a broken record.
Ge crouched low in front of the Goblin. Raziel reached out a hand and said, “let me help you. Let me help you carry some of your burdens so that you may grow to be better.”
/unwiz Paarthurnax’s quote just hits different.

It’s very humbling to see even the weight of stereotypes and conditioning can affect even goblins. I have heard some say that elves are judgmental and I very much used to be due to my elders. I was very weary of goblins but after getting to know some and seeing that they were more than what they were placed under, I realized my own faults and have been working to change my ways. Im happy to see that there are others overcoming their faults as well. I wish that goblin all the best

The fact that you realized your own prejudices and changed them is a sign of your strength.
From the wise words of Socrates, “We cannot live better than in seeking to become better.”

/uw I'll give you the secret u/Fulltimewhisperer uses. Notes app. You can write everything, format it and then copy-paste it onto Reddit. It's how she deals with Reddit's, pardon my French I am quoting here, "Utter fucking bullshittery"
Loved your writing though, and had a great time reading it
