It may surprise you to hear, with how much I praise my son in his service to my country, that I am a villain. Even with what I taught my son, I cleave down in a moment what annoys me. I know who I am, and I'm at peace with that. Early in my life I got a great mentor, I've enjoyed a great lifestyle, and I've been graced to have a great road to release. When I met Adam, we were rescuing him from his mother. She had been compromised while attempting a science-oriented coup. When I saw him, I could tell he was a strong boy; and I wanted to be his mentor. I made a good choice. After all his mother has been one of my most ardent antagonists ever since. However, I knew he would become just like his biological mother unless someone pushed him just like someone pushed me. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY8bHjO81e
In my government, we do not believe in heroes or in villains. In my government, we are anti-heroes and anti-villains. We look good, we feel good, and we stay impactful. That's what I taught Adam; that's what my government taught me.210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbypX6Np1Om
So during his life with me, I taught him what my government taught me. We Americans occupy a strange place in life, having a government where no plausible government can be conceived of; but we are not abstractions. We are real people with real needs and sometimes we have to make the best of what we have. Sure we need to remember to imperil our politicians as often as we glorify the times they stand with us, but what else can be done when no natural government could exist for us; in the absurdity of this all, it's almost like they're as innocent as lambs. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb1gglCopV
We can't do anything about the people who were hurt or killed now, as our people grew to be our country through struggles and troubles; and we can't do anything about that the pressures of life are composed of those facts that are unstable, and when displaced they topple right over onto us. However: we in government aren't only so grave and dreary. I taught Adam that we can do something about preparation, and we can do something about making availability into an asset. I taught him that we can make perfection to reach good enough, and we can lift lucidity out of ruin and laziness. I taught him everything I could about rolling with the punches; and after he was ready, I wrote this book.210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWgUY5H2fH
Adam struggled to make sense of these lessons at first. He had been an abused child and struggled with the idea that service wouldn't always dictate his decisions. Sometimes he would ask if it mattered if he was right or wrong, and I would have to explain that wrong exists because some actions create friction; but ultimately, I would tell him, it does not. Those things that are right are just the best-remembered conveniences, and those things that are wrong can sometimes feel so right. Subtraction feels like that; hence my government reminds us to be impactful. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlb8k6r097
However the difficult times were tempered by the times when he would ask me "Does it always happen to be this easy?" He was a skillful boy, one of the gifts of his having his mother. At those times I told him that what was easy about it was what they wanted, and that the wants of children were not mechanically experimental. But I also tried to make sure that he experimented during those young years, as there are some things you never get back and disposable friends make up a part of them. I wanted him to understand the range of people's reactions, from the good and the bad, and from the heroic and the villainous; and he took to it as a devoted entrepreneur. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hQga1v0KB
I taught Adam that we worry to look good and feel good because nothing is ever going to be okay. I taught him that timelines will always waver in the direction of entropy, but the structures of happiness take passion and work. I taught him that we work to look good and feel good because we often forget our responsibilities; and I taught him that if he ever needed to prioritize feeling good so that he looks good, to never feel guilty about doing so. Then he taught me that you always know a child is listening.210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXRyB2mIg5
I first learned he was an aggressive student when he developed a heightened sense of fashion. He became practically one of the faithful in the ensuring of that others are looking for no answers but always asking questions. It didn’t take long for him to develop a shopping habit that for a time I was afraid might break me. I was delighted to see him take to my lessons, but that didn't stop my relief when he tempered his spending with other uses of his time. 210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPJeNeo0Wp
If there was anything else I'd have to say to him, it was that when you actually make sense of your time, build on that to make more sense of the times to build on. I've spent most of my life engaging in change in on foreign soils excuse it could serve American interests; but the point always was that there are no heroes who make satisfying outcomes. And now you know the secret of why I used my position and influence to found the Superhero Bounty Initiative to be what it's become.210Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSB1FSOwnf
