I, with my infinite knowledge of this world and the ones beneath it, am called the god of wisdom because there is a difference between the two. A wise man is not cowed by knowledge, but even still, it is the nature of men to feel fear.

Even if the future becomes an inevitability, hope must still exist in some measure. It is only when you stop believing as much that you become entirely lost.
