The Way I See It (redux)

I have been accused of ruining lives.

Maybe that is true.

I will only accept credit if and only if I have tangible evidence of a said life ruined.

Otherwise, I only take credit for accelerating the process toward the inevitable.

For, I am neither a frondeur nor malcontent.

Contrary to popular belief, I hold no grudges.

I rule by fiat, unfettered by conscience.

As regular as clockwork, I make my rounds unencumbered by the discourse of the uneducated.

I may be a pariah in my time and for all time, but I hold my principles dear, and thus,

I am consistent to a fault.

When I kill, it is not for sport, but possibly for entertainment.

When I feed, it is not for pleasure, but always for the added benefit of taste.

When I watch the wretched souls I cast aside,

I find ultimate satisfaction in treading upon these growing heaps of pedestrian pavement.

In this singularity of my nature, I find truth and purpose in being.

I am what I am.

So know me as such.

I will not trifle with recognizable monikers.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet

A line in which I have never received proper recognition.

A putrid mass as foul and all is relative.

In conclusion, disregard your clinical analysis of my story.

Your emotional response reaps more than your foray into logic and reasoning ever did or would.

I may not have created the Universe, but the Universe had to create me.

A restart of the former garners no advantage over the restart of the latter.

I grow stronger with each colloquial "do-over".

Sleep soundly knowing this.

Present your inquiries tonight.

We will discuss your future tomorrow, in every detail possible.
