Yet again, one of your own has stepped forward and admitted that, no, infact, he is not a perfect, untroubled creature! That yes, he does require guidance and advice from one as knowing as the mighty Set!
Well worry not, mortals! The time has once more come for Set to help his loyal servants alleviate themselves of the burdens and horrors of the world!
Pay strict attention, my children, and learn from the trials of others, that you may become stronger!
Behold! Set's Advice Column!
Dear Set,
I've foolishly roped myself into another e-debate. My friend was talking about Nietzsche on the forums and we were laughing and having a good time. But then he made some side remark about Kierkegaard as well. And then some other guy came in and poo-pooed Kierkegaard.
Now, I'm all for differences of opinion and all, but this guy hasn't read any of his (Kierkegaard's...or Nietzsche's for that matter) books. And more importantly a glance at his profile shows the pretentious git for who he is. Anyways, you know how these things happen, I jumped right in and tore a strip off him.
My friend loved it, but the guy kept on being as ignorant as he was before, asking if I'd even read the sources I quoted. Dear Set, why do I keep doing this? Is not the enlightenment of others a noble practice?
-Stupefied at People's Amazing Moronity
Well, SPAM, while your attempts to enlighten others is admirable, I know all too well how frustrating it can become when faced with others' unwillingness to learn. First off, I suggest enjoying a long night of drunken debauchery to take your mind off of it. Maybe make that a full week of it, actually. Be sure to bring your friend along with you in your adventures as well.
Second, remember that the Aeons are tricky and dangerous opponents for you to face in your ever-loyal servitude to your Dark Lord. Even the seemingly most noble of causes can turn into a trap set by them to try and ensnare you away from the mighty Set's love! While discussing philosophies is never frowned upon by your Dark Lord, remember well the tenets of your Path...
- Immerse yourself in whatever you hate, fear or shun, that it may not hold power over you.
- Tempt, confuse and degrade others, that they may recognize their own limitations and seek to overcome them.
First, I suggest apolagizing for your behaviour! That's right. Next, become his new best friend. He'll think better of you for (falsely) admitting that he is superior in his knowledge and wit, and therefore come to trust you, and through time you will also gain helpful hints and information on your new tar... err... friend! Through this, you will quickly become immersed in whatever passes for his circle of friends, which can then be used to confuse, degrade, and tempt him!
But that's not all! By spending time with such a pretentious git as he, you will test yourself! To help initially acclimate yourself, I recommend dealing with him mostly while intoxicated in some way or another. Preferably many different ways at a time.
If fortune smiles on you, not only will you have recruited yet another member to our cause, but you will have successfully met yet another challenge that the disgusting Aeons have placed before you! Once again, proving your strength of will in serving the mighty Set!
But enough of these worries, SPAM. This is all the advice that mighty Set can offer you this Night!
Your problems have become my problems, and together we have explored the solutions!
Now, lose yourself in The Big Party!
Because there is always tomorrow to worry about the things that trouble you.
